Answer:

Length of side AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon is one in which all angles are equal and all the sides have the same length.

Now, it means that;

AB = BC = CD = DE = AE

We are told that BC is represented by 3x - 4 while DE is represented by the expression 4x - 9.

Thus, from equal length of sides of a regular polygon, we have;

3x - 4 = 4x - 9

4x - 3x = 9 - 4

x = 5

Thus, length of BC = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11

Therefore, Length of AB = 5

Answer:

x = -2 or x = 1/3 thus: B & C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 + 7 x - 2 = 2 x - x^2

Subtract 2 x - x^2 from both sides:

3 x^2 + 5 x - 2 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 2) (3 x - 1) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 2 = 0 or 3 x - 1 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or 3 x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = -2 or 3 x = 1

Divide both sides by 3:

Answer: x = -2 or x = 1/3

What is the value of d and w?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

d = 65

w = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

w + 90 + 35 = 180

w + 125 = 180

w = 55

35 + x = 60 (Vertical angle thm)

x = 25

d + x = 90

d + 25 = 90

d = 65

13. Maria earns $8 per hour plus a 5% commission on the price
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Inequality:

120 + 0.05x ≥ 200

Solution:

x ≥ $1,600

Her total weekly sales must be equal to or greater than $1,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weekly sales she must make to reach her goal.

Given;

Pay rate = $8

Weekly total work hours = 15 hours

Commission on sales = 5% = 0.05

Total weekly earnings is;

8×15 + 0.05×x

120 + 0.05x

Minimum Weekly target earnings = $200

So;

120 + 0.05x ≥ 200

Solving the inequality equation;

0.05x ≥ 200 - 120

0.05x ≥ 80

x ≥ 80/0.05

x ≥ 1600

x ≥ $1,600

Her total weekly sales must be equal to or greater than $1,600
