I need the answer to this I do not understand!

There are 15 plates and each plate is either 7 or 12 inches diameter. which systems of equations do you use to find the number of 7 inch plates, x and 12 inch plates, y

What value of x is in the solution set of 4x - 12 s 16 + 8x? -10 -9 -8 -7

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
