Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x - 8y = -20
8x + 8y = 24
0 ≠ 4
2y = -2x + 10
y = -x + 5
8y = -8x + 24
y = -x + 3

The answer is: 5,614 square inches.
The explanation is shown below:
1. The gift on the bottom is a rectangular prism. To calculate its surface area, you must apply the following formula:
![SA=2[(l)(w)+(l)(h)+(h)(w)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA%3D2%5B%28l%29%28w%29%2B%28l%29%28h%29%2B%28h%29%28w%29%5D)
Where
is the length (20 inches),
is the width (42 inches) and
is the heigth (16 inches).
2. Substitute values:
![SA1=2[(20in)(42in)+(20in)(16in)+(16in)(42in)]=3,664in^{2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA1%3D2%5B%2820in%29%2842in%29%2B%2820in%29%2816in%29%2B%2816in%29%2842in%29%5D%3D3%2C664in%5E%7B2)
3. The surface area of the other gifts can be calculated with the formula for calculate the surface area of a cube:

Where
is the side.
4. The surface area of the bigger cube is:

5. The surface area of the smaller cube is:

6. The total surface area (the combined surface area of the three gifts) is:

Answer:
∠ EFG = 83°, ∠ GCE = 97°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since FE and FG are tangents to the circle then
∠ FGC and ∠ FEC are right angles
The sum of the angles in quadrilateral CEFG = 360°
Sum the 4 angles and equate to 360
3x + 11 + 90 + 5x - 23 + 90 = 360, that is
8x + 168 = 360 ( subtract 168 from both sides )
8x = 192 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 24
Thus
∠ EFG = 3x + 11 = 3(24) + 11 = 72 + 11 = 83°
∠ GCE = 5x - 23 = 5(24) - 23 = 120 - 23 = 97°
The smallest number of pens he can buy is 4 packages
