Hey there!

4x + 7 + 35 = 90°

4x + 42 = 90°

SUBTRACT 42 to BOTH SIDES

4x + 42 - 42 = 90 - 42

CANCEL out: 42 - 42 because it give you 0.

KEEP: 90 - 42 because it help solve for the x-value.

NEW EQUATION: 4x = 90 - 42

SIMPLIFY IT!
4x = 48°

DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES

4x/4 = 48/4

CANCEL out: 4/4 because it give you 1

KEEP: 48/4 because it give you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 48/4

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 12

Therefore, your answer is: x = 12

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

There are 25 questions on your math test. You have completed 5 questions so far. What fraction of the total questions do you sti

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have completed $5$ questions, you still have $25-5=20$ more questions to answer. We need to find what fraction $20$ is of $25$ , if that makes sense. A fraction is simply a part over a whole. In this case, the part is $20$ and the whole is $25$ . Therefore, the fraction we are looking for is $\frac{20}{25}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ . Hope this helps!
