<span>x = 9
Since ZP bisects â OZQ, that means that the measurements for â OZP and â PZQ are the same. So create an equation with their respective values set to each other.
8x - 9 = 5x + 18
Now solve for x
8x - 9 = 5x + 18
Subtract 5x from both sides
3x - 9 = 18
Add 9 to both sides
3x = 27
Divide both sides by 3
x = 9</span>
1. Solve for x in 2x + 5 = 12
2x + 5 = 12 Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x = 7 Divide 2 from both sides.
x = 3.5
2. Substitute 3.5 in for x in 6x + 20
6(3.5) + 20
21 + 20
41
Your answer is 41.
