The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2. What is the number? A. -4
B. -2
C. -1
D. 1

The answer would be A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you right it out like x-6=5(x+2), then you distribute the 5, you get: x-6=5x+10. Then subtract x from both sides, you get: -6=4x+10. Subtract 10 from both sides, you get: -16=4x. The all you have to do is divide both sides by 4, and you get: -4=x

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
