Answer:
i. 9
ii. 14
iii. 405
iv. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of diagonals in a polygon of n sides can be determined by:
where n is the number of its sides.
i. For a hexagon which has 6 sides,
number of diagonals = 
= 
= 9
The number of diagonals in a hexagon is 9.
ii. For a heptagon which has 7 sides,
number of diagonals = 
= 
= 14
The number of diagonals in a heptagon is 14.
iii. For a 30-gon;
number of diagonals = 
= 
= 405
The number of diagonals in a 30-gon is 405.
iv. For a n-gon,
number of diagonals =
The number of diagonals in a n-gon is
Answer:
good question
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point of intersection between the two equations.
Assuming you have a graphing calculator or a program to lets you graph equations (I use desmos) you simply put in the equetions and note down the coordinates of the point of intersection.
In the graph the first equation is in blue and the second in red.
The point of intersection = the solution = (-6 , -1)
If you dont have access to a graphing calculator you could draw the graphs by hand;
1) Draw a table of values for each equation; you do this by setting three or four values for x and calculating its image in y (you can use any values of x)
y = 0.5 x + 2 (Im writing 0.5 instead of 1/2 because I find its easier in this format)
x | y
-1 | 1.5 * y = 0.5 (-1) + 2 = 1.5
0 | 2 * y = 0.5 (0) + 2 = 2
1 | 2.5 * y = 0.5 (1) + 2 = 2.5
2 | 3 * y = 0.5 (2) + 2 = 3
y = x + 5
x | y
-1 | 4 * y = (-1) + 5 = 4
0 | 5 * y = (0) + 5 = 5
1 | 6 * y = (1) + 5 = 6
2 | 7 * y = (2) + 5 = 7
2) Plot these point on the graph
I suggest to use diffrent colored points or diffrent kinds of point markers (an x or a dot) to avoid confusion about which point belongs to which graph
3) Using a ruler draw a line connection all the dots of one graph and do the same for the other
4) The point of intersection is the solution
The numerator and denominators will have no common factors.
For example 4/6 is not in its simplest form because both 4 and 6 can be divided by 2. In simplest form this will be 2/3.
