<span>Simplifying
12 + -6(w + -3) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
12 + -6(-3 + w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (-3 * -6 + w * -6) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (18 + -6w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Combine like terms: 12 + 18 = 30
30 + -6w = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
30 + -6w = (-5 * 3 + -3w * 3) + 21
30 + -6w = (-15 + -9w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
30 + -6w = -15 + 21 + -9w

Combine like terms: -15 + 21 = 6
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '9w' to each side of the equation.
30 + -6w + 9w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -6w + 9w = 3w
30 + 3w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -9w + 9w = 0
30 + 3w = 6 + 0
30 + 3w = 6

Add '-30' to each side of the equation.
30 + -30 + 3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0
0 + 3w = 6 + -30
3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 6 + -30 = -24
3w = -24

Divide each side by '3'.
w = -8

Simplifying
w = -8</span>

Does anyone know this ? i'm stuck.. i'll give you brainliest and 15 points !! show work.
madam [21]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to the 70 degree angle is also 70 degrees.  We assume that there are four 90-degree angles in the center of the figure.  Thus, 8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 (the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees).

Solving  8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 for x:

              8x - 36 = 20, or 8x = 56.

Dividing both sides by 8 yields x = 7.

Please need help i need help i need help
xeze [42]

Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:

Equation 1: x - 4 = 0

Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0

Now for each equation solve for x!

Equation 1:

x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4

x = 4

Equation 2:

-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1

-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5

x = 1/5

Check:

(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)

(0) (-20 + 1)

(0) (-19)

0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!

(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)

(-19/5)(-1 + 1)

(-19/5)(0)

0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!

smaller x = 1/5

larger x = 4

Hope this helped!
