Move the 8 over
-x=3x-8
Move the 3x over
-x-3x=8
-4x=8
Divide by -4
x=-2
33% of decrease.
150-100=50
50 is 1/3 of 150
1/3= 33%
Answer:
<h3>
∠XYZ = 102</h3><h3>
</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st step is to solve x from ΔWXY</u>
∠W + ∠X + ∠Y = 180
where ∠W = 5x + 2
∠X = 7x + 4
∠Y = 180 - (15x - 18)
= 198 - 15x
now plugin values into the equation:
5x + 2 + 7x + 4 + 198 - 15x = 180
combine similar terms:
5x + 7x - 15x = 180 - 2 - 4 - 198
simplify:
-3x = -24
x = -24 / -3
x = 8
<u>2nd step is to substitute x = 8 into ∠XYZ</u>
∠XYZ = 15x - 18
∠XYZ = 15(8) - 18
∠XYZ = 102
