Answer:
so x would equal 12
Step-by-step explanation:
(10x - 20)° + (6x + 8)°= 180°
so you are going to want to combine like terms which would be
10x and 6x, and 20,8
10x+6x=16x
20-8=12
16x-12=180
now you want to get 12 on the opposite side of the equal side so you add (since it is negative) 12 to each side
which gets rid of the first 12
16x=180+12
now you can add 180+12
and you get 192
so now we want to get x by itself in order to do that you must divide
you are going to divide by 16 an each side and the 16 cancels out the first 16
16x/16=192/16
x=192/16
and 192 divided by 16 is 12
so you answer is
x=12
Hope this made sense :)
