The Triangle Sum Theory means that every interior angle of a triangle sums up to 180. My first approach was to put 169 as x but that isn’t correct. That is because a triangle’s smallest angles have to add up to be more than the biggest angle. Ex (10, 5, 7 that is a triangle because the sum of 5+7 is more than 10) So as you can see there are x’s next to the other numbers. That is because x needs to be able to multiply with the other numbers and stand on it’s own and add up to 180. So this would be the equation: X+8•X+3•X=180. You should find that 15 makes everything add up to 180. Now knowing x is 15 now we know that 3x is equal to 45. So k=45 That is how you solve this tricky question. Hope this helps! ❤️
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables. We have then: x: number of pens y: number of pencils We now write the system of inequations: The solution to the system of inequations is given by the shaded region. Note: see attached image.
