If, for example, you had x on one side and x on the other, then subtracting x from both sides "disappears" x. If no other power of x shows up on either side, then your equation either has no solution or is always true.
Answer:
150°
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the individual angle of a REGULAR dodecagon (which means that all sides are equal), you'd use the equation I(individual angle)= (n-2)×180/n
N is number of sides. The number of sides on a dodecagon is 12. So, substitute N for 12
I= (12-2)×180/12 which simplifies to 10×180/12
10×180= 1800
1800/12 = 150
so, an individual interior angle of a dodecagon is 150°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to define a couple of variables. Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.
Now lets translate the words into algebra:
"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32" ===> 5s + 2z = 1.32
"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75" ===> 3s + z = 0.75
There are several ways to solve systems of equations. Let's use substitution. We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:
3s + z = 0.75
-3s -3s
------------ -------------
z = -3s +0.75
Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:
5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32
Can you handle it from here?
(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)
The answer is:
17*(3/14)
More detailed;
3/14 gives us how many it takes to feed 1 person, then we times the amount it takes to feed one person by 17 (to get 17 people)
