Respuesta :

D.
The equation to find x is 2x+6+3x+2=168
Combine like terms 5x+8=168
Solve for x 168-8/5= 32
Because angle WVT and angle UVT combined is equivalent to angle WVU (168)

Answer:

D. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

2x+6+3x+2=168

2x+3x+6+2=168 (Combined like terms, group like terms, and switch sides.)

2x+3x=5x (Solve. Add the numbers from left to right.)

5x+6+2=168

2+6=8 (Add.)

5x+8-8=168-8 (Subtract 8 from both sides.)

168-8 (Solve.)

168-8=160

5x=160

5x/5=160/5 (Then, divide by 5 from both sides.)

160/5=32

x=32

So, the correct answer is (D.) x=32.
