Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

5(x - 8) = 20

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

  1. Divide 5 on both sides:                     x - 8 = 4
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                         x = 12

<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>:                    5(12 - 8) = 20
  2. Subtract:                              5(4) = 20
  3. Multiply:                               20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 12 is a solution to the equation.

Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from one hour number to the next (12 to 1, 3 to 4, etc) moves the hand of the clock 30 degrees. Using this, we know that the hour hand moved 60 degrees to get to the hour number 2. Then, the angle the hour hand moved because of the minute hand can be calculated by doing (20/60)*30=10. So the final answer would be 70 degrees.
