Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4(x+12)=2 what was his mistake?
Andre steps:
1/4x=-10
X= -40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'

         - 12 -12

2. 1/4(x) = -10  - 1/4  since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide

-1/4    - 1/4

3. x = -10.25

Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
