Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will need to isolate x

2/3(x+9)=x+5

first, distribute 2/3 on the left side

2/3x+6=x+5

subtract 5 on both sides

2/3x+1=x

subtract 2/3 x on both sides

1=1/3x

x is the reciprocal of 1/3, so x=3

nadezda [96]
<span>Prism Volume = Area of Base • Height
</span>
Area of Base = Prism Volume / Height
Area of Base = 840 / 14
Area of Base = 60
pentagon area = 5 * side^2 / 4 * tan (180 / 5)
side^2 = [pentagon area * 4 * tan (180 / 5)] / 5
side^2 = [60 * 4 * tan (36)] / 5

side^2 =240 * 0.72654 / 5
