The length of the shortest side of the hexagon is; 41.833 inches
<h3>How to find the perimeter of a Polygon?</h3>
Let the length of the shortest side of the hexagon be x. Now, a hexagon has six sides and if the next side is 10 inches longer than the previous side, then the length of the six sides are;
x, x + 10, x + 20, x + 30, x + 40, x + 50
Perimeter is given as 401 inches. Thus;
x + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 + x + 40 + x + 50 = 401
6x + 150 = 401
6x = 401 - 150
6x = 251
x = 251/6
x = 41.833 inches

Answer:
15x - y = - 6.....15x + 6 = y...so we sub in 15x + 6 in for y on the other equation
5x - 3y = -13
5x - 3(15x + 6) = -13 <== the new equation

Answer:
s = 71 mph, and s+9 = f = 80 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The distances the two busses travel add up to 604 mi.
Letting f be the faster speed and s the slower. Then f = s + 9 (mph).
Then (s + 9)(mph)(4 hr) + (s)(mph)(4 hr) = 604 mi. Solve this for s:
4s + 36 + 4s = 604 mi, or 8s = 568. Finally, s = 71 mph, and s+9 = f = 80 mph.
You just solved it.... do u need the work shown?
Answer:
The answer is 450
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this equation:
x- the speed in which the turtle walks
5x+5(x+10)=4.5x+150+x*(150)/(x+10)
I got x=40, x=-50/11, but you can't have negative speed, so the turtle's speed is 40 meters per hour. After that, I just plugged in x onto one of the expressions and got 450.
