First, lets take all the x values on one side.

3x + x + 8 = -x + x + 20
4x + 8 = 20

Now, lets put the numbers on the other side.

4x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3

Hope this helps!

Hello there.

First, we need to isolate x to one side of the equation. To do this, we need to cancel out one of the x's by adding or subtracting it's opposite. Since the right side of the equation has a lower value, we'll cancel that one.

Remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.

3x + 8 = -x + 20
Add 1x to both sides (this cancels out -x and adds 1x to 3x).

4x + 8 = 20
Now we need to isolate the variable. Our current equation has the variable being added to a number, so we need to cancel out that number. To do this, we need to subtract the value of the number.

4x + 8 = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides.

4x = 12
Now, all we need to do is perform the opposite order of operations to 4x in order to solve for x. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we need to divide both sides by 4.

x = 3 is your answer.

I hope this helps, and have a great day!

Each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side. If the perimeter of this pentagon is 500 cm, find the lengths o
Vesna [10]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm
