8+(-2) =6
So the answer is 6
6 - 5x
the number isn't specific so u'll need to use a variable for it
u're multiplying that number by 5 so u'll write it as 5x
and ur subtracting it from 6
We can find x only if we know that the figure is a REGULAR octagon, i.e. an octagon with all sides equal, and all interior angles equal.
We will ASSUME that the figure is a regular octagon.
For a regular polygon, the central angle subtended by each side is equal.
The central angle is 360 degrees.
So the central angle subtended by a single side euqals
a=360 degrees / 8 sides = 45 degrees / side
Since x is the total angle subtended by three sides, so
x=3*45=135 °
Exponent rule added:
12xx^2 -9x^2
rewrite 9 as 3 x 3, rewrite 12 as 3 x 4
3 * 4xx^2 - 3 * 3x^2 ( * is multiply)
factor common terms:
3x^2(4x-3) - answer.
