How do I write an algebraic equation for this word problem?

Hi.

Please note that I haven't done much algebra.

4 more = 4 +

Twice as many than the runner up means 2 times the amount they ate (a variable) = 2n

So far we have 4 + 2n

Since it's an equation, we are going to know what it equals. In the problem, we find out that it's 11. So the equation looks like this:

4 + 2n = 11

If this didn't work out, please let me know.

I believe n = 3.5

Find the measures of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular 16-gon
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

2520°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°

shape. sides. triangles. sum int angles.

triangle. 180×1=180°

quad. 180×2=360°

pentagon. 180×3=540°

n-sides. n( n−2) 180(n−2)

16-sides. 180×14=2520°

Solve by substitution or elimination;<br><br> x+2y=-1<br> x-y=5
Strike441 [17]
I would love to use substitution (It is simplier that way I guess)

solve your system of equations.

x+2y=−1;x−y=5

Solve x+2y=−1 for x:

x+2y+−2y=−1+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)

x=−2y−1

Substitute (−2y−1) for x in x−y=5:

x−y=5

−2y−1−y=5

−3y−1=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−3y−1+1=5+1(Add 1 to both sides)

−3y=6

−3y/−3 = 6/−3(Divide both sides by -3)

y=−2

Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2y−1:

x=−2y−1

x=(−2)(−2)−1

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

So the answer is (x = 3 and y = -2)

The midpoints of the hexagon are connected to form another hexagon, this pattern continues indefinitely. If the area of the 99th
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

  • (4/3)⁹⁸ units²

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>Regular hexagons have a property that cutting off the triangles obtained by joining the midpoints of consecutive sides leaves a hexagon of 3/4 of the area.</em>

This means the area of each hexagon inside out starting from the one with unit area is 4/3 of the previous one.

  • 99 ⇒ 1
  • 98 ⇒ 1*4/3
  • 97 ⇒ 1*(4/3)²
  • ...
  • 1 ⇒ (4/3)⁹⁹⁻¹

<u>The original hexagon has the area of:</u>

  • (4/3)⁹⁸ units²
