4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6) <em>use distributive property</em>
(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)
4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12
4x - 2 = 10x - 12 <em>add 2 to both sides</em>
4x = 10x - 10 <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>
-6x = -10 <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>
x = 10/6
<h3>x = 5/3</h3>
Answer:
-87
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first to find <em>x</em> you need to subtract 121 from 180. You do this because both the angle which measures 121 degrees and <em>x</em> lie on the same line, and since a line has an angle measure of 180, you do 180-121 to find <em>x</em>. The same thing can be done for <em>y</em>. Since the angle measure of 34 degrees and y lie on the same line you can calculate 180-34 to get <em>y. </em>So, let's do that.
180-121=x
59=x
180-34=y
146=y
Once you've done that you can easily subtract the two and get your answer.
x-y
substitute the answer for the variables and get
59-146
and then your answer is
-87
