Answer:
B: 22.5 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angles of a pentagon add up to 540 degrees
(if you dont believe me you can turn a pentagon into three triangles, 3x180 = 540)
So you have four same angles say measure "x" degrees, and one final one that measures "5x" degrees, so 9x = 540, and x = 60
Unless I read the problem wrong, 60 degrees is the answer which is not an option :P
Edit: Yea I read it wrong, the final angle is 5 times the other four angles COMBINED, so that angle measures "20x" degrees.
The total would be 24x = 540, and so x = 22.5
Y=1/5x ! :) I hoped this helped ! Privately message me if you need help with anything else !!
= -9(x – 4) – 6x
Multiply -9 by everything in parentheses first
= (-9*x) + (-9*-4) - 6x
= -9x + (36) - 6x
Combine like terms
= (-9x-6x) + 36
= -15x + 36
The middle choice is the answer:
-15x + 36
Hope this helps! :)
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
