Answer:

x = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(6 - 2x) - 2x = 2(5 + x) - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

12 - 4x - 2x = 10 + 2x - 4 ← simplify both sides

12 - 6x = 6 + 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

12 - 8x = 6 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 8x = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = $\frac{-6}{-8}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

The measure of one angle of an octagon is two times smaller that of the other seven angles. What is the measure of each angle?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> represent the measures of the seven same-size angles,

x/2 ----> represent the measure of the one that is "two times smaller."

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a polygon can be calculated as:

$S=180^o(n-2)$

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

In this case

n=8 (octagon)

substitute

$S=180^o(8-2)=1,080^o$

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$\frac{x}{2}+7x=1,080$

solve for x

$\frac{15x}{2}=1,080\\\\15x=2,160\\\\x=144^o$

$\frac{x}{2}=72^o$

therefore

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

A first number plus twice a second number is 13. Twice the first number plus the second totals 14. find the numbers

sashaice [31]

Answer:

the first number is 5 the second number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

first number = x

second number = y

X+2y=13 given this isolate x x = 13-2y

2x+y=14 substitute 13-2y for x

2(13-2y)+y=14

26-4y+y=14

-3y=-12

y=4 taking this number substitute into either equation above

x+2(4)=13

x+8=13

x=5
