Answer:

x=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-(7-4x)=-2(3x-4)

-5x+7+4x=6x-8

-5x+6x+4x=5x = 8-7=1

5x = 1

1/5 = x

x = 1/5

"I have a 35% off coupon that I would like to apply to my purchase today. How much will the coupon save me?" Employee: "It looks

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have: 35% discount

Total without discount: $125.00

Amount discounted: ?

So you have to make 35% into a number that you can multiply with $125. When you have a percentage you move the decimal two times to the front so you have 0.35 then you multiply;

125 x 0.35 = 43.75.

43.75 is the amount discounted, so you only have to pay 81.25. The equation for that would look like;

125 - 43.75 = 81.25

Hope that made sense!

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with

cupoosta [38]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the base of the pyramid, which is a regular hexagon. You can see that there is a right triangle.

The area of the triangle can be calculated with this formula:

$A_t=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can say that the apothem is the height of the right triangle, then, you need to find the base applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

$(2x)^2=(x\sqrt{3})^2+b^2\\\\b=\sqrt{(2x)^2-(x\sqrt{3})^2} \\\\b=\sqrt{4x^2-3x^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{x^2}\\\\b=x$

Then, the area of the triangle is:

$A_t=\frac{x(x\sqrt{3})}{2}=\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2}$

Since the base of the pyramid is a regular hexagon, then you can multiply by 12 the area of the right triangle calculated above, in order to find the area of the hexagon. Then you get:

$A_h=12(\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2})=6x^2\sqrt{3}\ units^2$
