4(x+2)+2=14
4x+8+2=14
4x+10=14
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x=4
Divide by 4 on both sides
x=1
Answer: x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given that ∠ABC and ∠DBC are complementary angles, we know that adding them together should give us 90°. We can use this to solve for x.
6x+13+4x-3=90 [combine like terms]
10x+10=90 [subtract both sides by 10]
10x=80 [divide both sides by 10]
x=8
Now, we know that x=8.
Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, 
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
25.75% say no- 206/80 then * 10 (x)
74.25% say yes- 100-x
Answer:
x = 8
y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x + 12)° and (12x - 28)° are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore:
(7x + 12)° = (12x - 28)°
Solve for x
7x + 12 = 12x - 28
Collect like terms
7x - 12x = - 12 - 28
-5x = -40
Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5 = -40/-5
x = 8
(12x - 28)° + (9y - 77)° = 180° (linear pair)
To find y, plug in the value for x = 8.
12(8) - 28 + 9y - 77 = 180
96 - 28 + 9y - 77 = 180
Combine like terms
- 9 + 9y = 180
Add 9 to both sides
-9 + 9y + 9 = 180 + 9
9y = 189
Divide both sides by 9
9y/9 = 189/9
y = 21
