Question

Help o;@ @AZ

Answer 1

this is a struggle for me ._.

Answer 2

ah the 'x'

Answer 3

i dont know wat the x for

Answer 4

so you know a circle has a whole 360 degrees?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

i thought it was 90

Answer 7

The way they come up with numbers is weird but you just have to learn it

You know how 100 pennies makes 1 dollar
or how 60 minutes makes one hour?

So its one of those things, one whole circle is made up of 360 degrees

Answer 8

You got that?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

I'm just tryna see if I even did it right. I did a 2 step equation and got an answer though.

Answer 11

Good! So now let's break your image up a bit so you can understand what they're showing us

Answer 12

They're saying that this big angle is 140 degrees

Answer 13

but now they CUT that angle, we don't know by how much but when they cut it, they get:



so they cut the big angle into two and get one angle that is 80 and another angle that is 5x

Answer 14

Does that make sense?

Answer 15

they cut it in half?

Answer 16

so like the two smaller parts have to add up to the big part

so the smaller angles add up to the main angle

Answer 17

they didn't cut it in half

half would mean that both are equal

they just cut it- we don't know if it's half yet

Answer 18

ah

Answer 19

that's what we have to figure out!

so

the two angles added together equal the big angle so we have

5x + 80 = 140

Answer 20

i dont understand the x still 0_0

Answer 21

so we're solving for 'x' now

that means we want 'x' all by itself

first let's get 5x all by itself

Answer 22

@Tranquility

Answer 23

To get 5x all by itself we need to move the 80 on the other side

since we're adding 5x and 80, we need to do the opposite to take 80 to the other side

so subtract 80 on both sides what do you get?

5x + 80 - 80 = 140 - 80

can you simplify it

Answer 24

16?

Answer 25

mmhmm no

let's look at each side by itself

so what is 80 - 80
and what is 140 - 80

Answer 26

60

Answer 27

\( 5x + \color{red}{80-80} = \color{orange}{140-80}\)

\( 5x + \color{red}{0} = \color{orange}{60}\)

\( 5x = \color{orange}{60}\)

\( 5x =60\)

now solve for x

Answer 28

we have to solve for x and to do that we have to divide by 5 on both sides

so what is

60 / 5 =
