Question

Help me on this math problem please!! DUE TONIGHT!! Write an equation!

Answer 1

3x+8=x+4
-x -x
2x+8=4
-4 -4
2x=4
x=2

Answer 2

(3x+8)°+(x+4)° = 180,

x=42

Explanation:

They are linear pairs, so the two angles are supplementary or add up to 180°.

1. Format the equation (3x+8)°+(x+4)° = 180

2. Simplify like terms 4x + 12 = 180

3. Subtract 12 on both sides, 4x=168

4. Divide 4 on both sides, x=42

5. Answer is x=42
