Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
x-4=2(x+8)/5
let's do my favorite strategy: distributive property!
x-4=(2x+16)/5
Now we can simplify.
x-4=(2/5)x+16/5
Let's solve for x!
Subtract 2/5 from both sides
3/5)x=36/5
Now multiply both sides by 5/3, the reciprocal.
You would get 12 as x!
Answer:
<u>x=-1.5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, you need to rearrange so the x is on one side of the "=" by itself.
So To do that, first you need to subtract 1/4 on both sides of the "=". This leaves you with 1/2+x=-3/4-1/4. You can simplify the -3/4-1/4 to -1 (-4/4). So, you now have 1/2+x=-1.
The next step is to subtract 1/2 on both sides of the "=". This leaves you with x=-1-1/2. Again, you can simplify the -1-1/2 to -3/2 which can be written as -1.5. So, you now have x=-1.5, which is the final answer.
The question may ask you to write your answer in the form of a fraction, in which case your answer x=-3/2. If the questions wants it written as a mixed number, your answer would be -1 1/2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
As in the triangle RST,

Because if in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.
Incenter is obtained by the Intersection of a triangle's three angle bisectors and it is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.
So, RP and TP are the angle bisectors of ∠R and ∠T respectively.




48 is the correct answer because your going to only do the square
Answer:
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are congruent then the corresponding sides are equal.
so
4x + 1 = 13
4x = 13 -1
4x = 12
Therefore x = 3
Now
8x - 2y = 2x + y
y + 2y = 8x - 2x
3y = 6x
3y = 6 * 3
3y =18
Therefore y = 6
