<span>You are given the number 120 that is separated into 2 parts. You are also given that the larger part exceeds three times the smaller by 12. You are asked to find the the size of the smaller part. To solve this, establish an equation. Let us denote x as the size of the smaller part.

It is also said that "l</span>arger part exceeds three times the smaller by 12" and converting it into an equation, we have
<span>3x + 12

And since the sum of two parts is 120, equate 3x + 12 to 120

3x + 12 = 120
3x = 120 - 12
3x = 108
x = 36

A florist is creating centerpieces for an upcoming event later this evening. She has already been working for two hours and has
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

No inequality given but in my view answer is:

x ≥ 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total time = 6 hours

Remaining Time = 6 - 2 hours = 4 hours (40*6 =240 mins)

Time required for 1 centerpiece = 15 mins

We have to find inequality for x:

Number of centerpieces she makes = x

In 240 mins : 240/15 centerpieces can be made

                    = 16 centerpieces

If she works with the same speed or more efficiently the suitable inequality would be:

x ≥ 16

I hope it will help you!

If the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is 5400 how many sides does it have
MariettaO [177]
Think of it backwards. To get the total measure of the interior angles of a polygon, you divide the polygon into triangles, where a base of each triangle makes up a side of the polygon, and every triangle shares a vertex towards the center of the polygon. We know that the sum of the interior angles in triangles is 180 degrees. Two of the 3 interior angles of each triangle make up the interior angles of the entire polygon. If you add up the third angle of each triangle, you will get 360 degrees. So, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to the number of sides the polygon has times 180 degrees minus 360 degrees. Written as an expression, you get:
180n-360, where n is the number of sides a polygon has.
Set this equal to 5400 to get the answer:
5400=180n-360
180n=5760
n=32

So the polygon has 32 sides.
