Given the equation −2x − 13 = 8x + 7, which order of operations completely solves for x? (1 point) Add 2x, then subtract 8x, lastly subtract 7 Add 2x, then add 13, lastly divide by 10 Subtract 8x, then add 13, lastly divide by −10 Subtract 8x, then add 2, lastly add 13

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?
