Answer:
3x - 4 = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve for x to find the number (knowing that x is the unknown number).
3x - 4 = 32
3x = 32 + 4
3x = 36
x/3 = 36/3
x = 12
Answer:
28°
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given that line DE and line FG are parallel and KL and FG are perpendicular. Then you can find out angle ∠BAC by using the vertical angles property: ∠BAC=62°. Then since KL and FG are perpendicular ∠ABC = 90°. So you find the angle ∠BCA by finding the sum of interior angles: 62+90+∠BCA=180, therefore ∠BCA is 28°. Finally, ∠x or ∠JCG = 28 because ∠JCG and ∠BCA are vertical angles and congruent.
Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
