The amount of degrees in a polygon: 360
In a pentagon: 360 / 5 = 72
9x - 18 = 72 Add 18 to both sides
9x = 90 Divide by 9
x = 10
The two integers are 22 and 32 (2x+10=54
Do it as simply as possible. 5000 × 2 = 10000. 60 × 10000 = 600000. Because multiplying by a factor of 10 is the easiest possible, always try to get a factor of 10 every time.
let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then divide.

x = # of hours the bike was rented.
$40 = $12 + $7x
Subtract $12 from both sides.
$28 = $7x
Divide both sides by $7
4 = x
Sandy rented the bike for 4 hours.
