5x + 2(x + 4) = 64
how do I solve for something like this and figure out what x equals?​

There are many way to solve this problem. But I'm using one X = 5 and X = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 10 = 50

50 + 2 = 52

52 + 12 = 64

Heads up

4 + 8 = 12

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to multiply 2 and x and then 2 and 4. You should get 2x + 8. then you should add comon numwrals which would be 5x and 2x to get 7x. your equation should now be 7x + 8= 64. then subtract 8 from 64 to get 56. it should now be 7x = 56. devide 56 by 7 and 7x by 7. your answer is x=8

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
