Answer:

  $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables A, B, C, D represent a sack of apples, a bunch of bananas, a cantaloupe, and a carton of dates, respectively. Then the problem statement gives rise to 3 equations:

  A +B +C +D = 20

  D = 2A

  C = A -B

Substituting the last two equations into the first gives ...

  A +B + (A -B) +2A = 20

  4A = 20 . . . simplify

  A = 5 . . . . . divide by 4

Substituting this into the last equation, we have ...

  C = 5 -B

  B + C = 5 . . . . add B

The cost to purchase a bunch of bananas and a cantaloupe is $5.

Answer:

-1078

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the nth term in an arithmetic sequence we use the following formula

aₙ=a₁+(n-1)*d

Where a₁ is the first time, and d is the common difference (in this case -20)

So we have

2+(55-1)*-20

2+(54)*-20

2-1080

-1078

Answer:

x = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given to you:

The sum of the interior angles can be found using the equation:

Sum = (n - 2)180

Note that:

n = # of sides.

Plug in 6 for n in the equation.

∑ = (6 - 2)180

First, solve for the parenthesis:

∑ = (4)180

Next, multiply:

∑ = 4 * 180

∑ = 720

You are solving for one angle. Note that there are 6 angles. Divide the sum of the angles with 6:

720/6 = 120

120° is your answer.
