Answer: x = 4; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The directions specify to solve by factoring

x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0

To factor, find two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to 20

-5 and -4 work

-5 + (-4) = -9

-5 * -4 = 20

(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

x = 4, x =5

Please help I'm almost done the test and need this and one other question ​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

z=68

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula 180\times(n-2) to find the sum of the angles in a polygon, given <em>n</em> sides. This formula tells us the angles of this pentagon must add to 540 (180\times(5-2)=540).

So, we can setup an equation:

70+2z+11+119+z+2z=540

Solve for z:

200+5z=540 Combine like terms

5z=340 Subtract 200

z=68 Divide by 5

Therefore, the value of z = 68.
