In this equation x = 49.
In order to find this, follow the order of operation of solving equations.
1/7x - 5 = 2 -----> Add 5 to both sides
1/7x = 7 ----> Multiply both sides by 7
x = 49
Because ABCD is a rectangle, the length of CD is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of DE. If we can do that, then the sum of the lengths of CD and DE represents the unknown: the length of CE.
To find the length of CE, we have to "solve" the upper triangle.
Here's an outline of what to do:
1. Show that BC=AD and find the length.
2. Note that angle CAD is 60 degrees. Why?
3. Note that angle EAD is 30 degrees. Why?
4. Find the length of ED
5. Add ED and DC, that is, ED + 12 cm. This is your answer.
Please ask questions if need be.
The amount of lines of symmetry of a shape is equal to the number of sides that shape has.
A heptagon has 7 sides, so, there are 7 lines of symmetry.
Best of Luck!
800 x 100 = 80000
80000 divided by 16 = 5000
5000 - 800 = 4200
His overall budget is $4200
