Answer:

4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 8) = 21

3x + 8 = 21

3x = 13

x = 13/3

x = 4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8

2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles equal up to 180 degrees therefore you do the following to solve this equation. So you have 80 and 55. So you add 80 to 55 and you get 135. Now you subtract 180 by 135 and that equals 45. So x=45. I will write it out as well.

55+80=135

180-135=45

x=45

To check.

80+55+45=180

Distribute and simply 7-2(x-5)+3x
KonstantinChe [14]

The given expression is

7-2(x-5)+3x

First, we use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.

7-2x+10+3x

Then, we reduce like terms. -2x and 3x are like terms, also 7 and 10 are like terms.

3x-2x+10+7=x+17<h2>Therefore, the simplest form of the given expression is <em>x + 17</em>.</h2>
