Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26

An angle measured 10 degrees less than the measure of its complementary angle. Find the measure of both angles

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of one angle in degrees

y ----> the measure of the complementary angle in degrees

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

$x+y=90$ ----> equation A

we have that

$x=y-10$ ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$(y-10)+y=90\\2y-10=90\\2y=100\\y=50$

Find the value of x

$x=50-10=40$

therefore

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

How do you solve 4x+10=3x+37

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

x = 27

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

4x + 10 = 3x + 37

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 10 = 37
Subtract 10 on both sides: x = 27

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 4(27) + 10 = 3(27) + 37
Multiply: 108 + 10 = 81 + 37
Add: 118 = 118

And we have our final answer!
