Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 7

-2x - y = 6

From the first equation:

y = 7 - 2x

Plug this into the second equation:

-2x - (7 - 2x) = 6

-2x + 2x = 6 + 7

0 = 13

this doesn't make sense so theer is:

No solution.

Carrots sell for $2.10 per pound, and crackers sell for $2.90 per pound. Glen bought some carrots and some crackers. The total w

musickatia [10]

The answer is
carrots - 0.8 pounds
crackers - 1.5 pounds

x - the weight of carrots
y - the weight of crackers
The total weight was 2.3 pounds: x + y = 2.3

Carrots sell for $2.10 per pound: 2.10x
Crackers sell for $2.90 per pound: 2.90y
The total cost was $6.03: 2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03

x + y = 2.3
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
x = 2.3 - y
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
2.10(2.3 - y) + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 - 2.10y + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 + 0.80y = 6.03
0.80y = 6.03 - 4.83
0.80y = 1.20
y = 1.20y : 0.80
y = 1.5 pounds

x = 2.3 - y = 2.3 - 1.5
x = 0.8 pounds

What is the sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon?

Volgvan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles for each polygon is always 360°.

The sum of the interior angles for each polygon is always 180°(n-2).

If you have n-sided convex polygon, then

$\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)+ \left(\text{ Sum of all exterior angles}\right)=180^{\circ}\cdot n$

So,

$\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)+ 180^{\circ}\cdot (n-2)=180^{\circ}\cdot n\\ \\\left(\text{Sum of all interior angles}\right)=180^{\circ}\cdot n-180^{\circ}\cdot (n-2)=180^{\circ}\cdot (n-n+2)=360^{\circ}$

I need help please and thank you

So we see that the ratio between the two octagons is 7:1, since 28/4=7 so what we do next is multiply the values of the smaller octagon by 7. But that’s the long way. There’s actually a shortcut by multiplying the perimeter of the smaller octagon, 34, by 7. This in turn equals 238.
