= 3x + 9x = 6x + 42

= 3x + 9x - 6x = 42 ( transposing +6x from LHS to RHS changes +6x to -6x )

= 12x - 6x = 42

= 6x = 42

= x = 42 ÷ 6 ( transposing ×6 from LHS to RHS changes ×6 to ÷6 )

= x = 7

Let us check whether we have found out the correct value of x or not by placing 7 in the place of x :

= ( 3 × 7 ) + ( 9 × 7 ) = 6 × 7 + 42

= 21 + 63 = 42 + 42

= 84 = 84

= LHS = RHS

Hence proved we have derived the correct value of x .

Therefore , the value of x = 7 .

The length of each side of a regular pentagon is increased by 8 inches, so the perimeter is now 65 inches. What is the original

evablogger [386]

Here as the Pentagon is regular so it's all sides will be of equal length . And if we assume It's each side be s , then it's perimeter is going to be (s+s+s+s+s) = 5s.And as here , each side is increased by 8 inches and then it's perimeter is 65 inches , so we got that it's side after increament is (s+8) inches and original length is s inches . And if it's each side is (s+8) inches , so it's perimeter will be 5(s+8) and as it's equal to 65 inches . So , 5(s+8) = 65

${:\implies \quad \sf 5(s+8)=65}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 5s+5\times 8=65}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 5s+40=65}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 5s=65-40}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 5s=25}$

${:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{25}{5}=5}$

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{s=5\:\: Inches}}}$

As we assumed the original side to be s .

Hence, the original side's length 5 inches
