The squiggly lines and the 2 straight lines through to sides of the pentagon mean that they are congruent (equal in length).

So, to find the perimeter of a regular polygon, you add all of its sides together.

So, the perimeter= 4x-2+x-2+x-2+x+2+x+2

To simplify it, add all of the x's together.

4x+x+x+x+x=8x

Perimeter=8x-2-2-2+2+2

-2-2=-4-2=-6+2=-4+2=-2

Perimeter=8x-2

The average of a list of 4 numbers is 90.0. A new list of 4 numbers has the same first 3 numbers as the original list, but the f

Answer:

the average of this new list of numbers is 94

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To answer this question we will assign a letter to each number for the first list and the second list of numbers, remembering that the last number of the first list is 80 and the last number of the second list is 96

for the first list

$\frac{a+b+c+80}{4} =90$

for the new list

$\frac{a+b+c+96}{4} =X$

To solve this problem consider the following

1.X is the average value of the second list

2. We will assign a Y value to the sum of the numbers a, b, c.

a + b + c = Y to create two new equations

for the first list

$\frac{y+80}{4} =90$

solving for Y

Y=(90)(4)-80=280

Y=280=a+b+c

for the second list

$\frac{y+96}{4} =X\\$

$\frac{280+96}{4} =X\\x=94$

the average of this new list of numbers is 94

Im having a hard time on this question and I hope you can help.

The answer would be x ≠ 0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First start with the left side, doing distributive property

So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10

Next do the same on the right side

-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9

Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
