can anyone help me solve 5x+10=58=11x+2? please

Question

ranga · Answer

There is an equal sign on either side of 58?

anonymous · Answer

no cause its solving eqautions using the exterior angle theorem

ranga · Answer

Can you post the original problem exactly the way it appears?

anonymous · Answer

well ive tried but all i can do is tell you where everything goes angle T is 5x+10 angle S is 58 degrees and then Angle U is 11x+2 which is the extended side ...and all it is,is an upside down triangle

ranga · Answer

So angle T and angle S are inside the triangle and angle U is outside the triangle?

anonymous · Answer

yupp

ranga · Answer

exterior angle of a triangle = sum of the opposite interior angles.
11x + 2 = 5x + 10 + 58
11x + 2 = 5x + 68
subtract 2
11x = 5x + 66
subtract 5x
11x - 5x = 66
6x = 66
divide by 6
x = 11

could you help me with 15x+5+22xx+4=120

ranga · Answer

What is 22xx?  Are you typing the problem correctly.  In the previous question you had typed two equal signs on either side of 58.  The = on the left should have been a + sign and that could have avoided a lot of confusion.

anonymous · Answer

sorry i meant 18x+5=-1+8x+46

anonymous · Answer

im sorry i didnt mean to confuse you sorry

anonymous · Answer

typos

ranga · Answer

18x+5=-1+8x+46
first simplify the constants on the right:
18x + 5 = 8x + 47
subtract 8x from both sides.
Then subtract 5 from both sides
solve for x.

anonymous · Answer

so it should like 18x+5=8x+47

anonymous · Answer

Simplifying
15x + 5 + 22x + 4 = 120

Reorder the terms:
5 + 4 + 15x + 22x = 120

Combine like terms: 5 + 4 = 9
9 + 15x + 22x = 120

Combine like terms: 15x + 22x = 37x
9 + 37x = 120

Solving
9 + 37x = 120

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + 37x = 120 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + 37x = 120 + -9
37x = 120 + -9

Combine like terms: 120 + -9 = 111
37x = 111

Divide each side by '37'.
x = 3

Simplifying
x=3
