Answer: The answer is x = 19.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a flower pot has a base with six equal sides of measurement (x - 6) units. We are to find the value of the unknown quantity 'x' if the perimeter of the base is 78 units.
We know that the perimeter of a polygon is given by the sum of the lengths of all the sides of the polygon.
Since each side of the six-sided base is (x - 6) units, so its perimeter will be
According to the question, we have
Thus, the value of 'x' is 19 units.
The graph of the linear equation can be seen in the image below.
<h3 /><h3>How to graph the linear equation?</h3>Here we have the linear equation:
y = (2/5)*x - 6
To graph it, we just need to find two points on the line, and then connect them with a line.
To find the points we just evaluate in two values of x.
if x = 0.
y = (2/5)*0 - 6 = -6
Then we have the point (0, -6)
If x = 5.
y = (2/5)*5 - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4
Then we have the point (5, - 4)
Now we can graph these two points and connect them with a line. The graph of the line can be seen below.
