Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal/congruent. This means that KL and JM are equivalent.

In other words, $7x - 2 = 12x - 22$ , and we have to solve for x.

Step 1: Subtract 12x from both sides.

$7x-2-12x=12x-22-12x$
$-5x-2=-22$

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

$-5x-2+2=-22+2$
$-5x=-20$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.

$-5x/-5 = -20/-5$
$x = 4$

Therefore, x = 4.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

X = 4

set both sides equal to each other:

12x - 22 = 7x - 2

5x - 22 = -2

5x = 20

x = 4

hope that helps

What is the solution to 2x + 8 > 10 ?

djyliett [7]

2x + 8 > 10
You first move + 8 to the other side, so you subtract 8
(When you see addition, you perform subtraction)
2x + 8 - 8 > 10 - 8
+ 8 and - 8 cancels out
2x > 2
Now, to isolate x, you should divide both sides by 2
(When you see multiplication, you perform division)
$\frac{2x}{2}$ > $\frac{2}{2}$
2 and 2 cancels out and we are left with
x > 1
So your final answer will be x > 1
