Let's label the original price of the dress as x. We know that

so that means that we can find x by dividing both sides by 5/8:

A simple rule for dividing fractions is 'Keep Change Flip'. You keep the first number/fraction the same, you change the ÷ to a × and you flip the second fraction. Through this rule, we can now solve the equation much more easily:

Therefore, the original price of the dress was $48
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. let's call the amount of money A, the initial amount P, the yearly rate r, the number of compounds per year n.
step 2. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
step 3. A = 1600(1 + .03/12)^((12)(5)
step 4. A = 1600(1.0025)^(60)
step 5. A = $1858.59
Question 1.
Formula for the sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon:
S = 180° · (n – 2)
A hexagon has 6 edges (hence 6 interior angles), so for this question, the that sum is
S = 180° ·(6 – 2) (n = 6)
S = 180° · 4
S = 720° <——— sum of the interior angles of a hexagon.
Then, just sum all the measures of the interior angles and it must be equal to 720°:
150° + 95° + 105° + 145° + 95° + x = 720°
590° + x = 720°
x = 720° – 590°
x = 130° <——— this is the measure of the missing angle.
The second option is the correct: 130°.

Question 2.
• length of the triangle's base: b = 8.7 ft;
• length of the corresponding height: h = 4.5 ft.
The area of the triangle is given by this formula. Just plug in values:
b × h
A = ————
2
(8.7 ft) × (4.5 ft)
A = —————————
2
8.7 × 4.5
A = —————— ft²
2
39.15
A = ———— ft²
2
A = 19.575 ft² <——— this is the correct answer (second option).
I hope this helps. =)
the answer of 2x +y = 20 ; 6x -5y =12
