Answer:

First step is "Solve the parenthesis". It means subtract 1.5x from 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

5(4x-1.5x)+12=4x-2

We need to find the first step o solve this equation.

Step 1: Solve the parenthesis.

5(2.5x)+12=4x-2

Step 2: Multiply.

12.5x+12=4x-2

Step 3: Isolate variable terms on left side.

12.5x-4x=-12-2

8.5x=-14

Step 4. Divide both sides by 8.5.

x=\dfrac{-14}{8.5}

x\approx -1.647

Therefore, the firs step is "Solve the parenthesis".

The sum of all but one interior angle of a heptagon is 776°. what is the measure of the final interior angle? 42º 56º 124º 304º
Mekhanik [1.2K]

A heptagon has seven sides. The measure of the final interior angle of the heptagon is 124°.

<h3>What is heptagon?</h3>

A heptagon, sometimes known as a septagon, is a seven-sided polygon. The heptagon is also known as the septagon, which combines the prefix "sept-" with the Greek suffix "-agon," which means "angle."

A heptagon has 7 sides therefore, the sum of the interior angle of the heptagon can be written as,

\text{Sum of intetrior angles of a polygon with n sides} = (n-2)\times 180^o\\\\\text{Sum of all the angle of heptagon} = (7-2) \times 180^o = 900^o

As it is said in the problem that the sum of the all the angles of the heptagon  except one is 776°, therefore, the measure of the last angle of the heptagon is,

The measure of the last angle = 900° - 776° = 124°

Hence, the measure of the final interior angle of the heptagon is 124°.
