You apply the sum of interior angles formula ie. (n-2)180. n=number of sides
since a pentagon has 5 sides it will be (5-2)180=540.
now add everything. x-5+x-6+2x-7+x+2x-2=540.
Solve for x: 7x-20=540
7x=540+20
7x=560
x=560/7
x=80
A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5
b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3
c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Plug in x = -4 and find the value:</u>
- f(-4) = 3*(-4)² - 7(-4) - 32
- f(-4) = 48 + 28 - 32
- f(-4) = 44
Answer:
2 x 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a * b = 14
2a + 2b = 18
(a * b)/b = 14/b Dividing both sides by b
a = 14/b
Substitute a in the perimeter equation
2(14/b) + 2b = 18
28/b + 2b = 18
2b - 18 + 28/b = 0
Multiply both sides by b
2b^2 - 18b + 28 = 0
Divide both sides by two
b^2 - 9b + 14 = 0
The Factors of 14 include -2 and -7 which add up to -9
(b - 2) * (b - 7) = 0
This has two answers because b can be either the side that is 2 long or 7 long, so there's no need to go back and solve for a.
2 x 7
