Answer:
x=8
RPS = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
QPS = 180
The two angles that form QPS
QPR + RPS = 180
7x+88 + 3x+12 = 180
Combine like terms
10x+100 =180
Subtract 100 from each side
10x = 180-100
10x = 80
Divide by 10
x =80/10
x = 8
RPS = 3x+12
= 3(8)+12
24+12
36
R could equal any number, but it has to be higher than 4, because 3+4=7.
Although they are the same variable, you cannot add two variables raised to different powers. 3x^1 + 5x^2 cannot work, but 3x^2 + 5x^2 can. Also, if you are multiplying them, they would combine to be 15x^3, as 3 and 5 (The coefficients) multiply together and x^2 times x^1 = x^3.
I hope that helps.
Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent
Further explanation:
We have to evaluate each expression to evaluate if the expressions are equivalent or not.
So,
<u>For 3(a−b)</u>

As we can see that 3(a-b) results in 3a-3b so these are equivalent
<u>For 2a(2+b)</u>

As we can see that 2a(2+b) doesn't result in 4ab so these are not equivalent
Hence,
Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent
