Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A pentagon has 5 sides. Given that it is a regular pentagon, these 5 sides are equal.
The perimeter is the total length of all the sides of the pentagon. Since these 5 sides are all equal, we can divide the perimeter by 5 to obtain the length of a side of the pentagon.
Perimeter= 10x +15
Length of each side
= (10x +15) ÷5
= 2x +3
In order to determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to set up equations. We do as follows:
Let x = students
y = adults
x + y = 215
.50x + 2y = 250
SOlving simultaneously, we have:
x = 120 students
y = 95 adults
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Try this solution (analytic method):
1. if new line is parallel to the given one (y=3x+2) it means the new line has a form y=3x+b, where b - number.
2. In order to calculate 'b', it need to substitute the coordinates of point (6;1) into the equation of the new line:
1=3*6+b, ⇒ b=-17.
3. If to make up the equation of the new line:
y=3x-17
