Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

The cost of going to the big playland park for a family is given by c = 15x + 50, where c represents the cost and x represents t
marusya05 [52]
C = 15x + 50

let c be $125 since c represents the cost
15x + 50 = 125
15x = 125 - 50
15x = $75
x = 75 ÷ 15
x = 5

Suppose that the function f is defined, for all real numbers, as follows.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

The solutions of the function are:

  • When f(x) = -4, the solution is -4
  • When f(x) = -2, the solution is -5/2
  • When f(x) = 0, the solution is -1

<h3>How to solve for the equation </h3>

The equation is given as

\frac{3}{4} x-1\\\\

When x = -4

3/4 * -4 -1

= -12/4 - 1

= -4

When x = -2

3/4*(-4) - 1

= -6/4 - 1/1

Take the lcm

-10/4

= -5/2

When x = 0

3/4(0) - 1

= -1

When f(x) = -4, the solution is -4

When f(x) = -2, the solution is -5/2

When f(x) = 0, the solution is -1

Solve the equation 5x + 3 = -3x + 99 algebraically. Answer as a reduced fraction only.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

add 3x both sides

8x +3 = 99

subtract 3 on both sides

8x = 96

divide by 8

x = 96/8 = 12
