Question in the image below:

x = 5/33 or 0.151515151

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-6x-2) = 8(3x-4)

step 1: simplify the equation.

-42x - 14 = 24x - 4

step 2: isolate the variable (using the balance method).

-42x - 14 + 14 = 24x - 4 + 14

-42x = 24x + 10

-42x - 24x = 24x - 24x + 10

-66x = 10

step 3: solve for x.

x = 10 ÷ -66

x = 5/33

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
