Answer:
x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x
Combine like terms:
4x - 7 = 20 - 5x
Isolate Variable
-x = 13
-1(-x) = -1(13)
x = -13
The answer is b 60 degrees <span />
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
