<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W

</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are. 
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79

To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.

Find the surface area of the pyramid shown to the nearest whole number. The base is a regular hexagon.
Fiesta28 [93]
The surface area of the pyramid will be given as follows:
Area of triangles:
A=1/2×base×height
A=1/2×12×18
A=108 m²
Area of 6 triangles is given by:
A=108×6=648 m²

Area of the hexagon:
A=6×1/2×12×6√3
A=374.123m²

Total surface area:
SA=648+374.123
SA=1022.123 m²~1022 m²

Answer: C] 1022 m²

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for volume of a cone

V = 1/3 pi r^2 (h)

V = 1/3 pi 66^2 (18)

V= 1/3 pi 4356(18)

V = 1/3 pi 78408

V = 1/3 264,201.12

V = 82,067.04cm^3
