Co-interior angles must add up to 180

x-5+2x+14=180

Gather like terms

3x+9=180

Move 9 to the other side as a negative number

3x=171

Divide both sides by 3

x= 57

Answer:

x = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 and 2x + 14 are angles on the same side of the transversal between two parallel lines
They are supplementary [add up to 180°]
x - 5 + 2x + 14 = 180
3x + 9 = 180
3x = 171
x = 57

H(x) = x2 j(x) = 2x2-5 find h(x) - j(x)

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) - j(x) => $x^2-(2x^2-5)$

The negative sign out in front of the set of parenthesis changes the signs of everything inside the parenthesis, so now we have, without parenthesis:

$x^2-2x^2+5$ which simplifies down to

$-x^2+5$

Simplify the expression -(6 - 4p)

Illusion [34]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $-6+4p$

Given:

$-(6-4p)$

First, we distribute the negative sign to both terms ( $6$ $and$ $-4p$ ) This would make the $6$ negative and the $-4p$ positive, so we have:
