Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed as follows;
In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.
Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.
Thus, we have;
2a(b-3) + 5b + _
Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;
2a(b-3) + 5b-15
2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)
So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)
Hence the constant used is -15
Answer:
2x+6y=-2 x is -3y-1 and 5x-3y=31 x is 3y+31/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−3y=31
Add 3y to both sides.
5x=31+3y
The equation is in standard form.
5x=3y+31
Divide both sides by 5.
5
5x
= 5
3y+31
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x= 5
3y+31

A polygon is any closed two-dimensional figure with 3 or more straight (not curved) sides, and a 12-sided polygon is known as a dodecagon. A regular dodecagon is one with equal sides and angles, and it's possible to derive a formula for calculating its area. An irregular dodecagon has sides of different lengths and different angles. A six-pointed star is an example. There's no easy way to calculate the area of an irregular 12-sided figure unless you happen to have it plotted on a graph and can read the coordinates of each of the vertices. If not, the best strategy is to divide the figure into regular shapes for which you can calculate the area.
Calculating the Area of a Regular 12-Sided Polygon
To calculate the area of a regular dodecagon, you have to find its center, and the best way to do that is to scribe a circle around it that just touches each of its vertices. The center of the circle is the center of the dodecagon, and the distance from the center of the figure to each of its vertices is simply the radius of the circle (r). Each of the 12 sides of the figure is the same length, so denote this by s.
You need one more measurement, and that's the length of a perpendicular line drawn from the midpoint of each side to the center of the 12-sided shape. This line is known as the apothem. Denote its length by m. It divides each section formed by the radius lines into two right-angled triangles. You don't know m, but you can find it using the Pythagorean theorem.
The 12 radius lines divide the circle you scribed around the dodecagon into 12 equal sections, so at the center of the figure, the angle each line makes with the one next to it is 30 degrees. Each of the 12 sections formed by the radius lines is made up of a pair of right-angled triangles with hypotenuse r and one angle of 15 degrees. The side adjacent to the angle is m, so you can find it using r and the sine of the angle.
