Answer:
x = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw an imaginary dot in the middle of that <u>line</u> which runs between those two parallel lines, and now lets look at it as an angle.
This lines' angle is 180 degrees. Now lets move those two parallel lines together on the imaginary dot in the middle.
We can see that on the left side is one degree and the other side is another, however when we put them together we get the angle measurement of the our line which we identified was 180.
Now that we can see that our two angles must equal 180 when put together we know and can say that:
40 + (x + 20) = 180
So, lets work this out like basic algebra now.
40 + x + 20 = 180
x + 60 = 180
- 60 - 60
x = 120
And voila we have our x value.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
The correct answer is 3/28
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
You don't really need to do it, but it helps you keep things more organized and easier to follow. Imagine if you're doing some multi-variable equation,
2a + 5b + 4d + 3c + b + a + 2d
that looks like a mess, it'll be easier to look at if you put all the similar variables next to each others like this:
a + 2a + b + 5b + 3c + 2d + 4d
(a + 2a) + (b + 5b) + 3c + (2d + 4d)
now you can add them up much easier.
First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11
Fourth, 15+-20= -5
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x
The answer is x=2
