Answer:
10 sides (decagon)
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the perimeter by adding up all the sides of a shape.
side + side + side + side... = perimeter
You know that <em>each</em> side is 4/5 centimeters. You also know that the perimeter is 8 centimeters.
<u>You can set up an equation like this:</u>
4/5 * number of sides = 8
<em>or you can write it in a simpler form as:</em>
4/5x=8
<u>Now solve it like a normal equation:</u>
5 * (4/5x) = (8) * 5
(4x) / 4=(40) / 4
x = 10
So, you know the shape has 10 sides that are 4/5 centimeters each.
1. 36x + 4
2. 30n + 42
3. -24p + 32
4. 24p -28
5. 15m - 30
6. 5x + 45
Answer:
the 1 mile and 3,218 meters in step 1 should be switched
Given that the team starts with a score of 0, after skipping 8 turns they would have 8 points deducted and thus end up with a score of -8. Now if they guess 6 answers correctly this would add 6 points to their score and so they would end up with -8 + 6 = -2 points.
4n+8=2(n+6)
Now isolate the n on one side of the equation:
4n+8=2n+12(distribution of the 2)
4n=2n+4(combine like terms)
2n=4(combine like variables)
N=2(isolate the n)
The answer is 2
Good luck!
