The correct answer is it is a figure with at least 3 straight sides. When you think of a square or a triangle they both have at least 3 sides that are straight. A circle doesn't have any straight sides so it is not a polygon.
You can prove that the other answer is wrong because of two things:
The definition of a polygon is a plane figure with at least three straight sides.
Also, when you think of most shapes what do they all have in common? The have at least three straight sides
To solve problem 19, we must remember the order of operations. PEMDAS tells us that we should simplify numbers in parentheses first, exponents next, multiplication and division after that, and finally addition and subtraction. Using this knowledge, we can begin to simplify the problem by working out the innermost set of parentheses:
36 / [10 - (3-1)²]
36 / [10 - (2)²]
Next, we should still simplify what is inside the parentheses but continue to solve the exponents (the next letter in PEMDAS).
36/ (10-4)
After that, we should compute the subtraction that is inside the parentheses.
36/6
Finally, we can solve using division.
6
Now, we can move onto problem 20:
1/4(16d - 24)
To solve this problem, we need to use the distributive property, which allows us to distribute the coefficient of 1/4 through the parentheses by multiplying each term by 1/4.
1/4 (16d-24)
1/4(16d) - 1/4(24)
Next, we can simplify further by using multiplication.
4d - 6
Therefore, your answer to problem 19 is 6 and the answer to problem 20 is 4d -6.
Hope this helps!
There would be 19.2 cups. At least from what I am thinking of. So you would get 19 cups and about a fourth of another cup. I hope this helps! :)
Edited answer: The number is: "- 6" .
_______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;
8*8 + 8*x = 16 .
Edit: 64 + 8x = 16 ;
Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:
Edit: 64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;
to get: 8x = </span>- 48 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;
Edit: 8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ;
Edit: x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is: "- 6" .
______________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
→ 8 [8 + (-6) ] =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (8 − 6 ) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (2) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 16 = ? 16 ?? Yes!

He earned $16 in a hour cuz he worked for 10 hours and 10x16=160
