Answer:

By solving the equation \frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) we found that   x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Given equation,

\frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) to find x  

Step: 1 Cross multiply the denominators 2(x-5)=6(x+6)  

Step: 2 Open brackets and simplify the term 2x-10=6x+36  

Step: 3 Bring x terms on one side and simplify the equation the equation obtained is following,  

2x-6x=36+10

 -4x=46  

-x=\frac{46}{4}=\frac{23}{2}=11 \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, we solved x value from the given equation \frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) as x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}.

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime? A. 42 and 77 B. 34 and 55 C. 45 and 102 D. 99 and 123
leonid [27]

Two pair of numbers are said to be relatively prime if there is no integer greater than 1, that divides them both.

Consider the given pair of the numbers to identify which pair is relatively prime.

1. Consider 42 and 77

7 is the number which divides 42 and 77 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

2. Consider 34 and 55

Since, there is no number greater than 1, which divides both the numbers. So, they are relatively prime numbers.

3. Consider 45 and 102

3 is the number divides 45 and 102 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

4.  Consider 99 and 123

3 is the number divides 99 and 123 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon.
forsale [732]
The triangle in the drawing is semi equilateral. Therefore a=√(14^2-7^2)=12.12 cm
The base of a regular pyramid consists of 6 equilateral triangles. The area of each triangle is: (14*12.12)/2 = 84.87 cm^2
The base: 6*84.87=509.22 cm^2

What does x = and why and how does that number come out
dedylja [7]

More algebra pretending to be geometry.  These questions should be banished from the planet.

A transversal across parallel lines generates the usual congruent and supplementary angles; here our pair are supplementary, adding to 180 degrees.  Geometry done.

(2x + 12.8) + 117.6 = 180

2x = 180 - (12.8 + 117.6) = 49.6

x = 49.6/2 = 24.8

Answer: 24.8
