The sum of the angles x and y are 127 degrees. if the measure of x is 34 more than half the measure of y, what is the measure of each angle?

The sum of the angles x and y are 127 degrees.
X + Y = 127

The measure of x is 34 more than half the y.
X = (y/2) + 34
X = (y + 68) / 2

X = 127 - Y

(Y + 68)/2 = 127-Y
254-2Y = Y+68
186 = 3Y
Y = 62
X = 127-62 = 65

The measure of two angles are 62 and 65

3(x - 4) = 24 This is the normal equation.

3x - 12 = 24 Next, use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by the number on the right of the parentheses, which in this case is 3. 3 times x is 3x, and remember to use any symbols to the left of the numbers and use as if it was a negative. 3 times -4 -12. Get rid of the parentheses and replace with the new numbers, which are 3x and -12.

3x = 36  I think you are solving for X so that's what i'm doing.

x = 12
