  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2x - 12 = -52

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 12 on both sides:                     2x = -40
  2. Divide 2 on both sides:                   x = -20

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                      2(-20) - 12 = -52
  2. Multiply:                                 -40 - 12 = -52
  3. Subtract:                                -52 = -52

Here we see that -52 does indeed equal -52.

∴ x = -20 is the solution to the equation.

Two angles in a triangle measure (2.3x+25)° and (5.8x+11)°. what is the value of x if the two angles are congruent to one anothe
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer is D. x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are congruent so

2.3x +25 = 5.8x + 11

2.3x - 5.8x = 11 - 25

-3.5x = -14

x = 14/3.5

x = 4.
