Question

Determine x in the figure.
74°
2xº

Answer 1

-37

Explanation:

Simplifying

74 + 2x = 0

Solving

74 + 2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-74' to each side of the equation.

74 + -74 + 2x = 0 + -74

Combine like terms: 74 + -74 = 0

0 + 2x = 0 + -74

2x = 0 + -74

Combine like terms: 0 + -74 = -74

2x = -74

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -37

Simplifying

x = -37
