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

If the student is a domain/inout and the hair color is the range/output how is these two set of relation not a function?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A function is a relation that maps inputs from a set called the domain, into outputs from a set called the range.

Such that each input can be mapped into only one output.

So for example, if we have a relation that maps the input 2 into two different values:

f(2) = 4

f(2) = 8

Then this is not a function.

In the case of the problem, we have a student as the input, and the hair color as the output.

So we will have something like:

f(student) = blond

And if this student decides to change his/her hair color to red?

Then the function becomes:

f(student) = red

So for the same input, we had two different outputs, which means that this is not a function.

We also could have the case where a given student has two colors (Californian for example)

Where again, we would see two different outputs for one single input.

Solve the inequality 3x - 5 < 4.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

      x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3x - 5 < 4 then we can transpose the inequality to make x the subject of the equation:

    If 3x - 5 < 4

⇒    3x < 4 + 5

⇒       x < 9 ÷ 3

⇒       x < 3

Solve 3x-2y=18 for x
melamori03 [73]

Answer: 54-2y

Step-by-step explanation:

If x equals 18, you need to multiply 3 times 18. It would need to stay as an expression since they have different variables.
