Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The side of a regular hexagon is 3 feet.
To find: Area of the hexagon
Solution:
It is given that the side of a regular hexagon is 3 feet.
We know that the area of a regular hexagon whose side is a units is 
Here, the side is 3 feet
So, area of the regular hexagon
Hence, area of the regular hexagon is
We can't eliminate as is so we have to change something up there in the equations to get either the x values the same number but opposite signs, or the y values the same number but opposite signs. I chose to change the y values to the same number but different signs. In the first equation y is -3y and in the second one, y is -8y. The LCM of both of those numbers is 24, so we will multiply the first equation by an 8 (8*3=24) and the second equation by 3 (3*8=24) but since they are both negative right now, one of those multiplications has to involve a negative because - * - = +. Set it up like this:
8(-10x - 3y = -18)
-3(-7x - 8y = 11)
Multiply both of those all the way through to get new equations:
-80x - 24y = -144
21x +24y = -33
Now the y's cancel each other out leaving only the x's:
-59x = -177 and x = 3. Now plug that 3 into either one of the original equations to find the y value. Either equation will work; you'll get the same answer using either one. Promise. -7(3) - 8y = 11 gives a y value of -4. so your solution is (3, -4) or B above.
Answer:
x = −1
Step-by-step explanation:
B. they are directly proportional because she keeps taking 3 at a time to his 1 at a time.
-x + -x-1 + -x-2 = -204
-3x=-201
x=-67
-67-68-69=-204
