    A polyhedron is called flexible if its spartial form can be changed by a continuous deformations, in the course of which each face remains congruent to itself. This polyhedron has been studied from 19th century and is still studied abundantly. In the paper under review, the author finds new equations that are satisfied by first-order flexes of a flexible polyhedron using the result of his previous paper [J. Geom. 110, No. 2, Paper No. 38, 11 p. (2019; Zbl 1418.52007)]. Furthermore, the author provides relations of those equations with the Dehn invariants and the rigidity matrix. One can find open problems on this area as well.
