Question

Solve for x and explain

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=22$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because $\angle ABC=\angle ABD+\angle DBC=80^{\circ}$, we have that $(2x+4)+(2x-12)=80$.

Combining like terms on the left side gives $4x-8=80$.

Adding $8$ to both sides gives $4x=88$.

Dividing both sides of the equation by $4$ gives $\boxed{x=22}$.

Answer 2

I haven’t done this in a while but I’ll try ….

2x - 12 + 2x + 4 = 80
4x - 8 = 80
+ 8 = + 8
4x = 88
Divide by 4
x = 22
Maybe… I hope it’s right!
