<h2>Solution :- </h2>

Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :

• 2x - 12 = -8

Further solving

→ 2x = -8 + 12

→ 2x = 4 .

→ x = 2

★ Solution :

Let number be n.

\rule{130}{1}

☯ \underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}

:\implies\sf 2n - 12 = -8  \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = -8 + 12\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf n = \dfrac{4}{2}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf n = 2}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup\bf{Required\: number}\Bigg\rgroup

\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The required number is \textbf{2}}}.

.Find the unknown angles in each of the following figures and mention the property used​
forsale [732]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. Angle y is vertically opposite the angle that measures 80°. Vertically opposite angles are said to be equal to each other, therefore, y = 80°

x + y + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)

x + 80° + 50° = 180 (substitution)

x + 130° = 180°

x = 180° - 130° (subtracting 130 from each side)

x = 50°

b. x + 50° = 120° (sum of the 2 opposite interior angles in a ∆ = the exterior angle of the ∆)

x = 120 - 50 (subtracting 50 from each side)

x = 70°

y + x + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)

y + 70° + 50 = 180° (substitution)

y + 120° = 180°

y = 180 - 120 (subtracting 120 from each side)

y = 60°

mylen [45]

Which statement regarding the graph is true? Which of the following statements is true?

Question:

The store sold 4,000 fewer units in November than in August.

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

Number of units sold in November = 3000

Number of units sold in August = 6000

difference in both = 6000-3000= 3000

which not same as 4000 hence wrong


Question:

More customers prefer chocolate than strawberry and vanilla combined.

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

value for Chocolate is 38% which is clearly less than combined value of strawberry (30%)  and vanilla (22%). which is (30+22=52%)

Question:

The median number of ounces sold from 3 to 4 p.m. was more than the median number sold from 7 to 8 p.m

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

It is not true for all Stem values.

Like when stem =1, then (3 to 4 p.m.) has median =0

but for (7 to 8 p.m) has median 6 which is more than 3 to 4 pm

A builder had been asked to lay an octagonal patio using square paving slabs. To do this, he cuts some of the bricks in half dow
Orlov [11]
Assuming you want an expression for the possible total area of the patio: if "completed" would be a rectangle of dimensions n, m: each must be >=3 to allow for octagonal corners. But each of the 4 corners must be missing, that's diagonals comprising (1/2)a^2, (1/2)b^2, (1/2)c^2, and (1/2)d^2, where a,b,c, and d must be variously limited and co-limited so as to allow at least 1 linear side of the original rectangle to be exposed. So A = (n*m)-(1/2)a^2-(1/2)b^2-(1/2)c^2-(1/2)d^2 as an expression.
Now, imagine replicating your possible (potentially irregular) octagons onto a plane and juxtaposing them so as to create a paved network. What geometric properties might such a network have? You now have a miniscule idea what nature does with silicate networked minerals, except that takes place in 3-D, with tetrahedra of SiO4 .
