Answer:
2 - 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is in the problem:
2 less than = 2 minus a number ( 2- )
five times a number = 5x ( we don't know what number five is being multiplied by, so we put a variable)
The common difference is 1 1/3
40-1 1/3= 38 2/3
38 2/3-1 1/3=37 1/3
37 1/3-1 1/3=36
Therefore the missing number is 38 2/3
A pyramid always have a number of slant triangles equal to the number of the sides of the base.
This means that a pyramid always have the number of face which is one more than the number of sides of the base.
Therefore, given that a pyramid has n number of sides of the base, the expression for the number of faces of the pyramid is given by
number of faces = n + 1.
(sorry if it's too late and you've already figured it out, but here you go anyway)
The easiest way to do this is to start by FOILing then add.
So just start with (x-1)(x-1)
(x-1)(x-1)
Front: (x*x) = x^2
Outer: (x*-1) = -x
inner: (-1*x) = -x
Last: (-1*-1) = 1
Added: x^2 -2x +1
Now take that answer and do the same thing with (x-1). It's basically the same thing, just with an added thing you need to multiply.
(x-1)(x^2-2x+1)
(x*x^2) = x^3
(x*2x) = 2x^2
(x*1) = x
(-1*x^2) = -x^2
(-1*-2x) = 2x
(-1*1) = -1
Now add everything together:
x^3+2x^2+x-x^2+2x-1
The answer is:
x^3+x^2+3x-1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
It's important to note that when two angles create a straight line, they are supplementary.
This means their angle measures add up to 180° since a 180° angle is a straight line.
Since we know the measures of both angles in equation form, we can add them together and have them equal 180 to solve for x.

Combine like terms:

Subtract 27 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 9:

So x = 17.
