5x – 2(x + 7) = -5

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(7)= -14

5x-2x-14=-5

3x-14= -5

move -14 to the other side, sign changes from -14 to +14

3x-14+14= -5+14

3x= 9

divide by 3 for both sides

3x/3= 9/3

x= 3

Answer: x= 3

A student thinks that the regular pentagon in the diagram
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The student must have thought that every single arrowhead is a line of symmetry, so since there are 10 arrowheads, there must be 10 lines of symmetry. This is incorrect because if you look closely at the diagram, each line has 2 arrowheads, so the student is overcounting by a factor of 2. They should have just counted the number of lines, not arrowheads. Therefore, there must be 10/2 = 5 lines of symmetry, not 10. Hope this helps!
