Ok i think that this would be 2/3 divided by 1/4?????
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
(5x+1) + (12x-8) = 180
You are doing this because both sides on a straight line add up to 180 degrees. The two angles would add up to 180 degrees since they are on the one side of the line.
Simplifying:
(5x+12x) + (1-8) = 180
Add your common variables together; keep in mind that variables are placed before numbers.
Adding:
17x-7 = 180
Process:
To do this, you are going to simply do the opposite operation for the number without the variable on both sides of the equal sign.
17x - 7 = 180
+ 7 + 7
------------------
17x = 187
----- ------
17 17
x = 11
You divided by 17 on both sides because you needed to get the x variable by itself. Hope this helped! :)
