Answer:

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> represent the measures of the seven same-size angles,

x/2 ----> represent the measure of the one that is "two times smaller."

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a polygon can be calculated as:

S=180^o(n-2)

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

In this case

n=8 (octagon)

substitute

S=180^o(8-2)=1,080^o

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

\frac{x}{2}+7x=1,080

solve for x

\frac{15x}{2}=1,080\\\\15x=2,160\\\\x=144^o

so

\frac{x}{2}=72^o

therefore

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

2/3x - 1/2y = 3
Blizzard [7]
2/3x - 1/2y = 3      |multiply both sides by 6
4x - 3y = 18

1/2x + y = 5      |multiply both sides by 2
x + 2y = 10

Answer: B) 4x - 3y = 18 and x + 2y = 10

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 6 that contains the same point (1,2)
garri49 [273]
Step 1: Create an equation with a slope of 6
y=6x+b

Step 2: Substitute x and y by with the point (1,2) and solve the equation for b
y=6x+b
2=6(1)
2=6
2=6+b
b=-4

Step 3: Substitute -4 for b in the equation
y=6x+b
y=6x+(-4)
y=6x-4

The equation that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (1,2) in point-slope form:
y=6x-4
