An octagon has 8 sides. If each of them has a length of x, then the perimeter is 8x which is twice the perimeter of the square. (The square has a perimeter of 4x)

A dodecagon is a 12 sided regular polygon. It will have 12 sides all of which are equal to x. Since the square has a perimeter of 4x and the dodecagon has a perimeter of 12x the perimeter of the dodecagon is 3 times that of the given square.

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x + 10y = -47 5x- 7y = 40<br>Please and thank u

anastassius [24]

Answer:

x=1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$3x+10y=-47\ Eqn\ 1\\and\\5x-7y=40\ Eqn\ 2$

In order to solve the equation

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3 and subtracting them

So,

Eqn 1 becomes

15x+50y=-235

Eqn 2 becomes

15x-21y=120

Subtracting 2 from a

15x+50y - (15x-21y) = -235-120

15x+50y-15x + 21y = -355

71y = -355

y = -355/71

y =-5

Putting y= -5 in eqn 1

3x+10(-5) = -47

3x -50 = -47

3x = -47+50

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Hence the solution is:

x=1, y=-5
