Step-by-step explanation:
add all the sides of the pentagon and make it equal to the perimeter of the square which is 4y
sides of the pentagon are
5x+3
2x+3
7x+4
9x-10
5x+8
28x+8=4y
7x+2 = y

another way :
in a standardized test you may want to use real numbers
make x equal a prime number like 3
so then the sides are
18
9
25
17
23
=
92
then divide by 4
23
then divide by 3
which is 7 remainder of 2
which is
7x+2
<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is
where the exclamation marks indicate factorials
