Find the value of x. Give reasons to justify your solution-

x =27

Step-by-step explanation:

from Z angls rule  the agle (BDE) =72

and total angl on D =180

so, 2x +2x+72=180

4x = 180 -72

4x = 108 (divied both sides by 4)

x= 27

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
