The perimeter is 25x+8 of a pentagon the given sides are as follow: a= 4x, b= 6x-8, c= 0, d=5x+4, e=5x-4 How would you solve c the missing value?

25x + 8 = 4x + 6x - 8 + c + 5x + 4 + 5x - 4 put common terms together.

25x + 8 = (4x + 6x + 5x + 5x) + (-8 + 4 - 4) + c  solve for c the side that is missing.

25x + 8 = 20x -8 + c

5x + 16 = c
