Question

ABCDE is a regular pentagon. AB = 14x – 34, CD = 7x + 8. What is the value of x?

A. 8
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7

Answer 1

To find the value of x in the given regular pentagon, set the expressions AB and CD equal to each other and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to set the expressions AB and CD equal to each other:

14x - 34 = 7x + 8

Subtract 7x from both sides, then add 34 to both sides:

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x is 6.
