3x+7=-x-1
move -x to the other side
sign changes from -x to +x
3x+x+7=-x+x-1
3x+x+7=-1
4x+7=-1
move 7 to the other side
sign changes from +7 to -7
4x+7-7=-1-7
4x=-8
Divide by 4 for both sides
4x/4=-8/4
Answer: x=-2
Answer: The area of the hexagonal base is 96 square roots of 3.
The hexagon is divided into 6 congruent triangles. All we have to do is find the area of one of these shapes and multiply by 6.
The base of each triangle is 8 because the triangles are equilateral and one side is already given. The height is 4 square roots of 3 because it is a 30/6090 triangle.
To find the area, we multiply 8 x 4 square roots of 3 and divide by 2 to get 16 square roots of 3.
Multiply 16 by 6 and you get 96 square roots of 3.
