Using the total weight the number of red, green and yellow colour are 2, 4 and 3 respectively.

<h3>How to find each colour using total weight?</h3>

The total number of reds, yellows, and greens on a scale is 9.

The reds weighed 3 pounds each, the yellows weighed 6 pounds each, and the greens weighed 5 pounds each. The total weight is 44

pounds. There are 2 more greens than reds.

Therefore,

let

x = number of reds

number of greens = x + 2

y = number of yellow

Therefore,

x + x + 2 + y = 9

2x + y = 7

3x + 6y + 5(x + 2) = 44

3x + 6y + 5x + 10 = 44

8x + 6y = 34

Hence,

2x + y = 7

8x + 6y = 34

8x + 4y = 28

8x + 6y = 34

2y = 6

y = 6 / 2

y = 3

2x + 3 = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x  = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

Therefore,

the number red colour = 2

the number of green colour = 2 + 2 = 4

the number of yellow colour = 3

GUYS PLZ HELP ME!!!!!!
siniylev [52]

Answer:

B E F G

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygons are 2 dimensional shapes with straight edges (no curved edges). The shape needs to be closed up entirely to be a polygon. It cannot have any intersecting line segments

A can't be a polygon because the shape isn't closed up entirely

C can't be a polygon because it is a 3d shape

D can't be a polygon because it has curved edges.

H can't be a polygon because it isn't closed up (there are no line segments).

I can't be a polygon because polygons cannot have intersecting lines

J can't be a polygon because polygons cannot have intersecting lines

I hope this helps! If it does, a rate or brainliest would be much appreciated. :)
