Since the pentagon is regular, the sides are all of equal length. This tells you

... 5x-27 = 2x-6

... 3x = 21 . . . . . . . add 27-2x

... x = 7

The length of a side can be found by subtituting this value into either expression.

... 2·7-6 = 8 . . . . inches

Estimate the solution to the system of equations. 7x−y=7<br><br> x+2y=6<br> ​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

I am not sure how your teacher wanted you to estimate the answer but I solved it for you. Hopefully this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-y=7

x+2y=6

14x-2y=14

x+2y=6

add both equations

15x=20

x=20/15

x=4/3

x+2y=6

4/3+2y=6

2y=6-4/3

2y=18/3 -4/3

2y=14/3

divide both sides by 2

y= 14/3 divided by 2

y=14/3(1/2)

y=14/6

2y=
