Simplify the following expression
12b+5.54b+2.46b+3.2a+1.17a-2b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you add like terms

12b+5.54b+2.46b-2b = 18b

3.2a+1.17a = 4.37a

2. Now you write it out

18b+4.37a

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
