What is -(x + 4) - 3x = x in Distributive property?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation: -(x+4)-3x=x

Remember distributive property allows us to get rid of the parenthesis by bringing a multiplication from outside to inside a parenthesis.

-(x+4) = -x-4

= -x-4-3x=x

Now we combine like terms in this case we have (-x) and (-3x)

= -4x-4=x

Subtract x from both sides

= -4x-4=x

  -x      -x

----------------

 -5x-4=0

Add 4 to both sides

-5x-4=0

    +4 +4

---------------

-5x=4

Our final step is to divide both sides by -5

-5x=4

----  ----

-5    -5

x = -4/5

Hope this helps!!!

What are the measures of each interior angles of a regular 24-gon
Andre45 [30]
The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, where n is the number of sides.

So, you'd have:
180(24-2)
180(22)
3960

3960 degrees is the sum of all the measures of the interior angles of a 24-gon. Now, to find how much each angle measures in a regular 24-gon, simply divide this: 3960/24.

You can use a calculator to solve this, but to actually give you the answer to your question:
3960/24=165

In a regular 24-gon, each angle's measurement is 165 degrees.

HELP PLEASE I NEED HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS
Doss [256]

Answer:

t=44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any pentagon is always 540 degrees.

Let's set up an equation with this information: (all figures are in degrees)

t+3t+t+32+149+139=540

Now we combine all like terms.

5t+320=540

Now begin to isolate t be subtracting 320 from both sides.

5t=220

Finally divide both sides by 5 to isolate t.

t=44°

Answer:

A' = (-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point A are (-6, 2).

The translation adds 3 to x and subtracts 2 from y.

A'(-6 + 3, 2 - 2) = A'(-3, 0)

Answer: A' = (-3, 0)
