A flower pot’s base has six sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x−6 units. The base’s perimeter is 78 units.

1 answer:

3 0

So, each side is x - 6x - 6 units and there are six sides. The perimeter is 78 units. Put that into an equation and get:
x - 6x - 6 = 78
Simplify:
-5x - 6 = 78
Isolate x:
-5x = 84
x = -16.8

How do you solve -6(a+8)

algol [13]

Use the distributive property.

This states that: a(b+c)= ab+ac

So,

-6*a= -6a and -6*8= -48

-6a+-48

This is the most you can simplify this problem.

I hope this helps!

Answer: 0.25

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

You need to convert the cm³ into m³

$\frac{250,000(cm)(cm)(cm)}{}* \frac{1(m)}{100(cm)} * \frac{1(m)}{100(cm)}* \frac{1(m)}{100(cm)} = \frac{250,000m^{3}}{1,000,000}$

= .25 m³ per m²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I first took away 60 from 195, as she already had 60 points. Than we were left with 135 points and since she gets 13.5 points every time she visits, I divided 135 by 13, which gives us 10.
