5 noble fir and 3 douglas fir = $ 420

12 noble fir and 9 douglas fir = $ 1080

Let noble fir be n,  and douglas fir be d.

5n + 3d = 420               ..............(i)

12n + 9d = 1080           ...............(ii)

Multiply equation (i)  by 3.

3*(5n + 3d) = 3*(420)

15n + 9d = 1260        .............(iii)

Equation (ii)  minus (iii)

(12n + 9d) - (15n + 9d) =  1080 - 1260

12n - 15n  + 9d - 9d = -180

-3n = -180

n = -180/-3 = 60

Substitute the value of n in (i)    5n + 3d = 420 

5*(60) + 3d = 420

300 + 3d  = 420
 
3d =  420 - 300 = 120

3d = 120

d = 120/3 = 40

Therefore Noble fir tree cost $60 while Douglas fir tree cost $40

What is the area of this figure?
KatRina [158]
Hi!

I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)

First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one. 

Let's start with the rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height. 
10 · 4 = 40

Rectangle = 40cm

Next up, the red triangles.

I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!

(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)

5 · 10 = 50

Red triangles = 50cm

And finally, the green triangles.

8 · 7 = 56

Green triangles = 56cm

Add it all together and you get...

40 + 50 + 56 = 146

The answer to the question is 146cm.

Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

The sum of two numbers is seventeen. Three less than three times the smaller is equal to the larger
tia_tia [17]
The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.

BRO SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT BRO I FR NEED SOME HELP. HOW DO YOU DO THIS
Finger [1]

Answer:

there you go bro. 168 degrees   for each angle

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the central angle visualize a circle in the center of the polygon. A circle has 360 degrees. Divide 360 by the number of sides and that will tell you the central angle size. So 360 divided by 30 equals 18 degrees.

To find the base angle use this formula

180(n-2)/n where n is the number of sides of a regular polygon.

When you plug in 30 for n
