Answer:
let g = number of guests. if each guest is to have 3 cups we represent this as
3g
for the additional 20 cups, we add 20
3g + 20
To solve for p, square both sides and move the equation to one side is equal to zero. Then factor. I chose -2 and -5 because -2 x -5 = 10 and -2 + -5 = -7. After factoring, solve p-5=0 and p-2=0. When one of those equals zero then the equation (p-5)(p-2)=0 is true.
Solve by substitution


Just plug in y=-x-1 into y+x=3
So we get:

Simplify that:

And since that is not true, that means this system of equations has no solutions!
-3|x+4|+16=7
-3|x+4|=7-16
-3|x+4|=-9
|x+4|=3
x+4=3
x+4=-3
x=-1
x=-7
X1=-7 X2=-1
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the regular decagon has sides that are 8 cm long.
We need to determine the area of the regular decagon.
<u>Area of the regular decagon:</u>
The area of the regular decagon can be determined using the formula,

where s is the length of the side and n is the number of sides.
Substituting s = 8 and n = 10, we get;

Simplifying, we get;




Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;

Thus, the area of the regular decagon is 642 cm²
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
