Answer :

Answer:

(7x-12)=-5

-5x÷-5 114÷-5=

x=29

Solution:

[tex](7x - 12) + 114 = 180[/tex]

Reason: The cointerior angles equal 180°

Collecting like terms:

[tex]7x + 102 = 180 \\ 7x = 180 - 102[/tex]

[tex]7x = 78[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of 7x which is 7.

[tex] \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{78}{7} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{78}{7} = \\ = 11.14[/tex]

( The decimal answer is not necessary except if asked for)

I hope this helps.
