Answer:
The number is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"
-><u> If you add 12 to my number</u> and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> n + 12 <u>and then multiply the result by 3</u>, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than <u>two-thirds of my number</u>.
-> 3(n + 12) = <u>64 more than</u> 
-> 3(n + 12) = 64 + 
[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;
[Given]
3(n + 12) = 64 + 
[Distribute]
3n + 36 = 64 + 
[Multiply both sides by 3]
9n + 108 = 192 + 2n
[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]
7n = 84
[Divide both sides by 4]
n = 12

Answer:
• changing an interior angle to a reflex angle
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the outline of the polygon to have a pair of sides that is concave (pointed inward, rather than outward), the corresponding interior angle must be a reflex angle. (It must measure more than 180°.) Draw one; you'll see.
Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.
-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13
Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :
-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3
Simplify and solve for x :
-3x + 15x + 39 = 3
12x = -36
x = -3
Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give
-3 (-3) + 3y = 3
9 + 3y = 3
3y = -6
y = -2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
Answer:
a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
6a + 20 = 2a
6a = 2a - 20
4a = - 20
a = -5
