Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) Jim initially had 48; Kirk initially had 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Solving (a): An equation for the amount they originally had.
From the question, we understand that j is 4 times as many as k.
Mathematically, this is:


Solving (b): Equation after Kirk wins
Initially Kirk had k.
To get the new expression, we add 18 to k.
This gives: 18 + k
In the same vein, Jim's number of chirps will reduce by 18.
Initially, Jim had j chirps (or 4k chirps)
To get the new expression, we subtract 18 from j.
This gives: j - 18
So, the equation is:

Solving (c): Number of chirps they started with.
In (b), we have:

Substitute 4k for j

Divide both sides by 3

Substitute 12 for k in 


Yes it’s a regular polygon I Think
I’m pretty sure that the figure is a rectangle and the two longer sides are 9 centimeters and the shorter ones are 6 centimeters. Rectangles have 4 right angles and all of the side lengths added together equals 30 centimeters
Well since each shelf holds 40 you would add up the two shelves to 80 then add 5 on one shelve to get 85. Since he has room for 40 you would subtract 5 and get 35
