8x+6=62
8x=62-6
8x=56
X=56/8
X=7
The answer is 7. Hope this helps!

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:

<h2>
Why?</h2>
To solve the problem we need to add/subtract like terms. We need to remember that like terms are the terms that share the same variable and the same exponent.
For example, we have:

We have that we were able to add just the terms that were sharing the same variable and exponenr (x for this case).
So, we are given the expression:

Hence, the answer is:

Have a nice day!
Hello there! We are talking about 86 being part of a number, so we are looking for the whole. To find the number we are looking for, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
86/x = 45/100
86 is 45% of a number. We know the part, so now we are looking for the whole. 45% is part of 100%, so we put that part together. Cross multiply the digits. 100 * 86 is 8,600. 45 * x is 45x. That simplifies to 8,600 = 45x. Now, divide each side by 45 to isolate the x. 45x/45 cancels out. 8,600/45 is 191.1111111 or 191 1/9 in fraction form. There. x = 191 1/9 86 is 45% or 191 1/9
Note: Or, if you have to round to the nearest whole number, the answer is 191, or if you have to round to the nearest tenth, the answer is 191.1. It all depends on if the answer needs to be rounded or exact.
You can think of this equation as

and thus apply the transformations to it as such



1) D = 2, C = +3
2) D = -12, C = -2
3) C = +6, D = 3
4) C = -7, D = -7
In similar figures, the angle measures are the same but the side lengths are different. So in #4, x = 42. Since all the angles of a quadrilateral added up equal 360, then y is 360-90-90-42=138. For number 5, make sure you match up the sides correctly in your ratio:

. You could cross multiply to get 4x=16, and x = 4, or you could just realize that reducing 4/8 will give you 2/4 and x = 4. Going back to the idea that in similar shapes corresponding angles are the same measure, x in #6 is 63
