Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract initial amount (300) and final (150). from there you get 150 dollars that was lost. We know that every step you 5 dollars so then divide 150 and 5 to get 30. So the distance was 30 steps.
1. First, you must apply the formula
for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is
shown below:
(n-2) × 180°
"n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).
2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:
(5-2)x180°=540°
3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:
α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°
8α=540°
α=540°/8
α=67.5°
4. Finally, the larger angle is:
2α=2(67.5°)=135°
5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected
6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165 ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618 ------------------------- (eqn 2)
(eqn 1) :
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 2)
6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 1)
x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72
x = 72 and y = 93
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x:
2 (6 - x) = x (x + 5)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 - 2 x = x (x + 5)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 - 2 x = x^2 + 5 x
Subtract x^2 + 5 x from both sides:
-x^2 - 7 x + 12 = 0
Multiply both sides by -1:
x^2 + 7 x - 12 = 0
x = (-7 ± sqrt(7^2 - 4 (-12)))/2 = (-7 ± sqrt(49 + 48))/2 = (-7 ± sqrt(97))/2:
Answer: x = (-7 + sqrt(97))/2 or x = (-7 - sqrt(97))/2
