Answer 1

do you have a diagram to match the question...?

Answer 2

is that 560 or 56 degrees?

Answer 3

56

Answer 4

4x+2+7x-12=56

solve for x, then plug x into the equation

Answer 5

Do you still need help with this, @Kagome_gurl8 ? I noticed you bumped your question.

Answer 6

Yeah, I know how to put the equation together but i don't know how to solve for x....

Answer 7

Okay, so we have the equation
4x + 2 + 7x - 12 = 56, as provided by @dancechick76 .


Do you know how to combine like terms on the left side of the equation?

Answer 8

Not really...

Answer 9

You need to add toether like terms. You have 2 numbers with x's. Combining those would give you 11x.

Do you see where we're going?

Answer 10

the next step would be to combine 4 and (-12).

Answer 11

Yes I do

Answer 12

Yes, you have 4x and 7x. 4 + 7 is 11, so you would get 11x.
And then you can combine the other like terms, 4 and -12. What would you get?

Answer 13

-16

Answer 14

Well, you would get -16 if the 4 was a negative 4. But since it is positive, you have to add 4 to -12.

If I owe you 12 dollars and I pay you 4, how many more dollars do I owe you?
