(18x + 36)/2 = -24

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Isolate the x.

First multiply 2 to both sides

(18x + 36)/2(2) = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -48

Isolate the x. Subtract 36 from both sides

18x + 36 (-36) = - 48 (-36)

18x = -48 - 36

18x = - 84

Isolate the x, divide 18 from both sides

18x/18 = -84/18

x = -84/18

x = -4.67 (rounded)

-4.67 rounded should be your answer

hope this helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Zena needs a salesperson. Salesperson A is offering his services for an initial $50 in addition to $5 per hour. salesperson B is offering her services for an initial $40 in addition to $7 per hour. When will the two coaches charge the same amount of money?

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total charge

we know that

Salesperson A

------> equation A

Salesperson B

------> equation B

To find out when the two coaches charge the same amount of money, equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

7x+40=5x+50

7x-5x=50-40

2x=10

<h2>x=5 hours i think just im not sure but i tried</h2>

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$6 x^2*\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: $\frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}$

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures $x\sqrt{3}$ , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
