Question

One of the angles of a regular octagon has a measure of (7x-5) What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular octagon means that each angle is 135 degrees, so 135 = (7x - 5).

135 = 7x - 5,

135 + 5 = 7x,

140 = 7x,

140 / 7 = x,

20 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

  x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a regular octagon have measures of ...

  180° -360°/8 = 135°

We want that equal to the given expression.

  7x -5 = 135

  7x = 140 . . . . add 5

  x = 20 . . . . . divide by 7

The value of x is 20.
