Assignment No.9

1. The document is a mathematics assignment for 8th grade students containing questions on simultaneous equations, compound interest, and shapes. It contains 13 questions on simultaneous linear equations, compound interest calculation, regular polygon properties, and determining angles and shapes. 2. The questions require students to set up and solve simultaneous linear equations using different methods like substitution, cross multiplication, and equalizing coefficients. Other questions involve calculating compound interest over different time periods and rates. 3. Additional questions test students' understanding of properties of regular polygons like hexagons, calculating interior and exterior angles, and identifying whether shapes are concave or convex.
