Answer:
j = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
j/-2 + 7 = -12
first subtract 7 from both sides
j/-2 = -19
then multiply both sides by -2
j = 38
What you can put is an obtuse 108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 112°
Step-by-step explanation:
a straight line only has 180° at all times so it is a matter of subtraction. 180-68 is 112° so from there you can find #2 as 68°, #3 as 90° and #4 as 90°, and so on.
7x³ = 28x is our equation. We want its solutions.
When you have x and different powers, set the whole thing equal to zero.
7x³ = 28x
7x³ - 28x = 0
Now notice there's a common x in both terms. Let's factor it out.
x (7x² - 28) = 0
As 7 is a factor of 7 and 28, it too can be factored out.
x (7) (x² - 4) = 0
We can further factor x² - 4. We want a pair of numbers that multiply to 4 and whose sum is zero. The pairs are 1 and 4, 2 and 2. If we add 2 and -2 we get zero.
x (7) (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0
Now we use the Zero Product Property - if some product multiplies to zero, so do its pieces.
x = 0 -----> so x = 0
7 = 0 -----> no solution
x - 2 = 0 ----> so x = 2 after adding 2 to both sides
x + 2 = 0 ---> so = x - 2 after subtracting 2 to both sides
Thus the solutions are x = 0, x = 2, x = -2.
