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
All you have to do is put 36/125. This will get you .288. When rounded to the nearest percent, it is 28%.
You need to multiply 1 and 5 plus 2.
and for 5 2/7 it would be 5 times 7 plus 2.
So...
5 2/7= 37/7
1 2/5= 7/5
Answer:
open the bracket
(4X+)-3X-2-72+X=X
4X+(-3X)-74+X=X
X-74+X=X
2X-74=X
then collect the term
-74=X-2X
-74=-X
divide by negative every side then you get
X=74
