How can you get equation b from equation A. 3(x+2)=18 B. X+2=18

We start with the equation:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

And we want to construct equation B:

B: X + 2 = 18

where I suppose that X is different than x.

Because in both equations the right side is the same thing, then the left side also should be the same thing, this means that:

3*(x + 2) = X + 2

Now we can isolate the variable x.

(x + 2) = (X + 2)/3

x = (X + 2)/3 - 2

Then we need to replace x by  (X + 2)/3 - 2 in equation A, and we will get equation B.

Let's do it:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

Now we can replace x by =  (X + 2)/3 - 2

3*( (X + 2)/3 - 2 + 2) = 18

3*(  (X + 2)/3 ) = 18

3*(X + 2)/3 = 18

(X + 2) = 18

Which is equation B.

step-by-step explanation:

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
