Answer: she bought 13 petunias

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of Petunias pot of flowers that she bought.

Let y represent the number of begonias pot of flowers that she bought.

She bought 22 potted plants. This means that

x + y = 22

Petunias cost $7 per pot and begonias cost $8 per pot. She spent a total of $163. This means that

7x + 8y = 163 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 22 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(22 - y) + 8y = 163

154 - 7y + 8y = 163

- 7y + 8y = 163 - 154

y = 9

x = 22 - y = 22 - 9

x = 13

What is the perimeter of triangle PQR? Show your work.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangles PQR and STU

1. PQ ≅ ST = 4 ft (Given)

2. ∠PQR ≅ ∠STU  (Given)

3. QR ≅ TU = 6 ft (Given)

Therefore, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

Now, from CPCTE, PR = SU. Therefore,

3y-2=y+4\\3y-y=4+2\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2}=3

Now, side PR is given by plugging in 3 for 'y'.

PR = 3(3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 ft

Now, perimeter of a triangle PQR is the sum of all of its sides.

Therefore, Perimeter = PQ + QR + PR

                                   = (4 + 6 + 7) ft

                                   = 17 ft

Hence, the perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft.

Can someone please help me Factor 4x^2 - 81
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

(2x-9)(2x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a difference of squares because it can be written as (2x)^2-9^2

The formula for factoring a difference of squares is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

So replace a with 2x and b with 9 giving us

4x^2-81=(2x-9)(2x+9)

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is how many degrees greater than the measure of an interior angle of a reg
harina [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of any polygon = 180* (n- 2 )

Here, n= number of sides

Sum of interior angles of regular octagon = 180 * ( 8-2) = 180 * 6 = 1080°

In regular octagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular octagon = 1080/8 =  135°

Sum of interior angles of regular hexagon = 180 * ( 6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

In regular hexagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular hexagon = 720/6 =  120°

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is  greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon by 15°
