Well,

Take a triangle.  It has three vertices and three sides.  The three vertices dictate that there will be three sides.  The same rule applies for a quadrilateral (four vertices and sides), a pentagon (five vertices and sides), etc.  So the number of vertices in a polygon is equal to the number of sides in the same polygon.

Taking this a step further, since the number of vertices are equal to the number of sides, we can conclude that a polygon with three vertices is a triangle, a polygon with four vertices is a quadrilateral, a polygon with five vertices is a pentagon, etc.

NemiM [27]
We can solve for x or solve for y,
for x
y+6=5x
divide both sides by 5
\frac{y+6}{5}=x

for  y
y+6=5x
minus 6 from both sides
y=5x-6

a floor is 450 ft by 90 ft. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit:5 feet. what are the dimensions of
Minchanka [31]
450/5= 90 units

90/5= 18 units

All you need to do is divide the real dimensions by the scale dimensions, and turn that answer to units. Notice: It said 1 unit: 5 feet

The scale drawing was 90 to 18 units.

I hope this helps!

R = recycling and reuse industry jobs
w = waste management jobs

we know, those two jobs combined are 1,275,000
or
r + w = 1,275,000

we also know that, whatever the "w" jobs are, are really less than "r"
jobs by 1,025,000

"r" has 1,025,000 more than  "w"
or
r = w + 1,025,000
or
r-w = 1,025,000

so... there, just solve by elimination, simple, notice the "w",
is just waiting to be eliminated :)

\bf \begin{cases}
r+\quad  w=1,275,000\\
r-\quad w=1,025,000\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
\boxed{?}+\boxed{?}=\boxed{?}
\end{cases}
