QUESTION 1
We want to solve the linear equation,
–12 + 3b – 1 = –5 – b
Group similar terms:
3b+b=-5+1+12
Combine similar terms,
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4
b=2.

Answer:
x = 24.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the angles form a straight line, and a straight line equals to 180°
=> (5x + 8) + (3x - 24) = 180
=> 8x = 196
=> x = 24.5
Answer:
I think the answer will be 20. It is oppsite sides and the lines look even. The area is small as well. So I think 20˙ will be the best option.
