Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x=-19}}$

Step By Step Explanation:

Expand $\bold{5\left(x-2\right): \ 5x-10}$

Expand $\bold{7\left(x+4\right): \ 7x+28}$

$\bold{5x-10=7x+28}$

Add 10 To Both Sides

$\bold{5x=7x+38}$

Subtract 7x From Both Sides

$\bold{5x-7x=7x+38-7x}$

Simplify

$\bold{-2x=38}$

Divide Both Sides By -2

$\bold{\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{38}{-2}}$

Simplify

$\bold{x=-19}$

What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 12 cm With process please

ivanzaharov [21]

Look at the picture.

The area of the hexagon is equal six times the area of the equilateral triangle.

The formula of the equilateral triangle with the leg a:

$A_\Delta=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}$

Therefore the formula of the area of the hexagon with a side lenght a is:

$A=6\cdot\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{3a^2\sqrt3}{2}$

We have a = 12cm. Substitute:

$A=\dfrac{3\cdot12^2\sqrt3}{2}=\dfrac{3\cdot144\sqrt3}{2}=3\cdot72\sqrt3=216\sqrt3\ cm^2$
