What is the answer to 4(x + 1) = -6

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

With Distributive property, we get 4x + 4 = -6.  Subtract 4 from both sides and we get 4x = -10.  Divide both sides by 4 and we get x = -5/2.

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
