    See below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A square has 4 equal sides so the length of one of it's sides

    = (40x + 60) / 4

    = (10x + 15) cm.

    A regular pentagon has 5 equal sides so the length of one of it's sides

    = (40x + 60) / 5

    = (8x + 10) cm.

    So the difference is (10x + 15) - (8x + 12)

    = (2x + 3) cm.
