Use the equation 300⇒5x to find how much tim made each day on average. 
x⇒60   so, Day 1: $60, Day 2: $70 etc.. so the equation 300=5x+10 suffices the problem. 300⇒5x+10 ⇒    290=5x
x=58
So, Tim earned $58 his first day. Hope this helped.

The given problem is based on arithmetic sequence
Sn = 300 (the sum of money in five days)
d = 10 (the difference day by day)
n = 5
The question asks how much Tim earn on the first day, we write it as a₁

The general formula to find the sum of a sequence is
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn

Input the numbers to the formula to find the value of a₁
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(5-1)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(4)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 40) = 300
2a₁ + 40 = 300 × 2/5
2a₁ + 40 = 120
2a₁ = 120 - 40
2a₁ = 80
  a₁ = 80/2
  a₁ = 40

The first day, Tim earned $40

The sum of seven angles of an octagon is 132 degrees each. Find the measure of the eighth angle.
Sauron [17]

the sum of the angles in an ngon (a polygon with n sides) is (n-2)*180

so an octagon has 8 sides and has a sum total of (8-2)*180=1080 degrees

if each of 7 angles is 132, then 1080=?+7*132

1080=?+924

156=?

the 8th angle is 156 degrees

So you would just have to divide 20/7 to get the percentage of it.

The answer would be 2.85%.

Solve for these letters<br> X<br> Y<br> Z
tester [92]
Z = 140
X = 40
Y = 40
Explanation:
Z and the angle given (140 degrees) are vertical angles, and are therefore congruent
We know that x and y are vertical angles, so they are also congruent to each other
You know that together, the angles have to add up to 360
140 + 140 + x + y = 360
Another way of putting it:
360-280 = 80
Now, we have to divide by two since we need to find x AND y
80/2 = 40
Therefore, your answers for x and y are 40
To double check, you can add up the angles and see if they equal 360
140 + 140 + 40 + 40
280 + 80 = 360
