Answer:
a. x is equal to 54.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angles of a pentagon will add up to 540. Since it is a regular pentagon, each angle would be 108 degrees. So we can set the value of the angle to 108 and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 108
2x = 109
x = 54.5
Slimination
the teacher probably wants you to eliminate the x terms since there are an equal number of them
so multiply first equation by -1
-6x+3y=-30
add to second equation
6x-6x+3y+y=18-30
0x+4y=-12
4y=-12
divide by 4
y=-3
subsitute
6x+-3=18
add 3
6x=21
divide both sides by 6
x=21/6=7/2
x=7/2
y=-3

An equation that correctly represent this relationship if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that, Bill spent 70 on fertilizer and weed killer for his lawn
Each pound of fertilizer cost 50 cents and each once of weed killer cost 3.50
We have to write an equation, if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer.
Now,<em> total amount = amount for fertilizers + amount for weed killers.</em>
Total amount = number of pounds of fertilizers x cost per pound + number of ounces of weed killer x cost per ounce.
Hence, the equation is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
