Answer: The answer is x = 19.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a flower pot has a base with six equal sides of measurement (x - 6) units. We are to find the value of the unknown quantity 'x' if the perimeter of the base is 78 units.

We know that the perimeter of a polygon is given by the sum of the lengths of all the sides of the polygon.

Since each side of the six-sided base is (x - 6) units, so its perimeter will be

$6\times(x-6)~\textup{units}.$

According to the question, we have

$6(x-6)=78\\\\\Rightarrow x-6=13\\\\\Rightarrow x=19.$

Thus, the value of 'x' is 19 units.

Solve the equation.<br><br> 2 ( 4z - 1) = 3(z+2)<br><br> Z=

sveta [45]

Answer:

$z = \frac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate for the value of $z$ :

$2(4z - 1) = 3(z + 2)$

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u> on both left and right:

$2(4z - 1) = 3(z + 2)$

$8z - 2 = 3z + 6$

-Take $3z$ and subtract $8z$ :

$8z - 3z - 2 = 3z - 3z + 6$

$5z - 2 = 6$

-Add $2$ to both sides:

$5z - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2$

$5z = 8$

-Take $5z$ and divide on both sides:

$\frac{5z}{5} = \frac{8}{5}$

$z = \frac{8}{5}$

Therefore, the value of $z$ is $\frac{8}{5}$ .

Circle O, with center (x, y) passes through the points A(0, 0), B(-3, 0), and C(1, 2). Find the coordinates of the center of the

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The center of the circle is

$(-\frac{3}{2},2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the circle be

$x^2+y^2+2ax+2by+c=0$ , where (-a,-b) is the center of this circle.

The points lying the circle must satisfy the equation of this circle.

A(0,0)

We substitute this point to get;

$0^2+0^2+2a(0)+2b(0)+c=0$

$\implies c=0$

B(-3,0)

$(-3)^2+0^2+2a(-3)+2b(0)+c=0$

$\implies 9+0-6a+0+c=0$

$\implies -6a+c=-9$

But c=0

$\implies -6a=-9$

$\implies a=\frac{3}{2}$

C(1,2)

$1^2+2^2+2a(1)+2b(2)+c=0$

$1+4+2a+4b+c=0$

$2a+4b+c=-5$

Put the value of 'a' and 'c' to find 'b'

$2(\frac{3}{2})+4b+0=-5$

$3+4b+0=-5$

$4b=-5-3$

$4b=-8$

b=-2

Hence the center of the circle is

$(-\frac{3}{2},2)$

Find the length of the missing side please help

kozerog [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

7. Since they are similar triangles we have:

$\frac{10}{8} = \frac{x}{12} \\ \\ x = 15$

So DF is 15

8. They are also similar. So:

$\frac{14}{7} = \frac{x}{5} \\ x = 10$

So PR is 10

gogolik [260]

Answer:

98 - 84 = 14(this is the change) now we convert this to a percent

14/1 x 100/100 = 14%
