In order to know the correct expression, it is important to understand each statement to the given. 

<span>seven less than the quotient of x and 9

"Less than" involves the operation subtraction and "quotient" involves the use of division. Therefore, the correct answer is option B. The correct expression should be (</span><span>x÷9)−7 .</span>

Answer:

The correct answer is the option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea is this kind of exercise is to translate the ‘‘natural’’ language into the ‘‘language’’ of mathematics. First, we need to read very carefully the sentence in order to understand all the terminology.

Then, we should to split the sentence in blocks of information:

‘‘seven - less than - the quotient of - x and 9’’.

Notice that the sentence is divided in 4 parts, each one giving some piece on information. The second and the third tell us the operations involved:

  • less than: a subtraction,
  • quotient: a division.

The fourth part tell us that the division is x÷9. This deduction jointly with the first and second part give us that the expression is (x÷9)-7.

Answer:

3a. The polygon has 15 sides, so it is a pentadecagon or a 15-gon.

3b. Each interior angle measures 156°.

3c. The measure of an exterior angles is 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

3a

(n - 2)180 = 2340

n - 2 = 13

n = 15

The polygon has 15 sides, so it is a pentadecagon or a 15-gon.

3b

2340/15 = 156

Each interior angle measures 156°.

3c

There are 2 ways to calculate the measure of an exterior angle.

Method 1:

Each exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle.

156 + x = 180

x = 24

Method 2:

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon, 1 per vertex, is 360, no matter the number of sides.

360°/15 = 24°

The measure of an exterior angles is 24°

One number is 18 more than another number. The sum of the numbers is 36. find the numbers
tatuchka [14]

We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.

We can make two equations from the given:

x = 18 + y

("One number is 18 more than another number")

x + y = 36

("The sum of the numbers is 36")

If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:

x + y = 36

(18 + y) + y = 36

18 + 2y = 36

2y = 18

y = 9

Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:

x = 18 + y

x = 18 + 9

x = 27

<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

<u></u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.
