Answer:  The correct option is (B) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x in the following  equation :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To find the value of x, we need to solve equation (i) for x.

The solution of equation (i) is s follows :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 4.5x-1.5x=3+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)

We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7

<em><u>Subtract 1.5x from both sides</u></em>

6 - 3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Simplify left side</u></em>

3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Add 7 to both sides</u></em>

10 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2</u></em>

x = 5

4/3x + 1/6x = 36 (solve for x please help I have no idea what it is!!!!!!!
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{1}{6}x = 36

Make the denominator the same by multiplying the first fraction by 2 to make both denominators 6.

\frac{8}{6}x + \frac{1}{6}x = 36

Now we can calculate the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

\frac{9}{6}x = 36

Find x.

\frac{6}{6}x = \frac{6}{9} × 36

x = 24

Answer:

  • draw lines center to vertex
  • 43.5 square inches
  • 261 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

The area can be decomposed into triangles by drawing a line from the center to each vertex of the hexagon.

__

<u>Part B</u>:

The area of each triangle is given by the triangle area formula:

  A = (1/2)bh

  A = (1/2)(10 in)(8.7 in) = 43.5 in²

__

<u>Part C</u>:

The area of the table top is 6 times the area of one triangle:

  surface area = 6(43.5 in²) = 261 in²
