Answer: x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8 = 2
+8 +8
x = 10
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.
Looking from left to right it is increasing
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!
