Question

Solve for x.

please answer fast !! thank you

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

11x + 14 = 46 + 8x - 2

11x - 8x = 46 - 2 - 14

3x = 30

x = 10

Answer 2

An outside angle equals the sum of the two opposite inside angles:

11x +14 = 8x-2 + 46

Simplify the right side:

11x +14 = 8x+44

subtract 14 from both sides:

11x = 8x + 30

Subtract 8x from both sides:

3x = 30

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 10
