Solve for x: two thirds(x − 2) = 4x

-2/5 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 ( x-2) = 4x

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 * 2/3 (x-2) = 3/2 *4x

x-2 = 6x

Subtract x from each side

x-2-x = 6x-x

-2 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

-2/5 = 5x/5

-2/5 =x

step-by-step explanation:

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
