A hexagon has 6 sides, so the perimeter can be calculated as
6 x l. In other words:

I have attached what the graph to this will look like (looks like the graph y = 6x)
John is correct because 0.5 is equal to one half and multiplying something by its half is just same as dividing something in two and half of 1.4 is 0.5
(sorry if it's too long feel free to shorten it)
First question:
4(3x-5) + (2x -2)(4 + 3x-5)
Simplify -----> 12x - 20 + (2x-2)(3x-1)
Multiply the second part -----> 12x - 20 + 6x^2 -8x + 2
Combine like terms --------> 6x^2 + 4x - 18
Each side of the addition sign represents one of the rectangles above which is then added to get the area of the entire figure.
Second question:
The average is the summation of each data value divided by the number of data values. So it would be
(4 + 5 + 9)/ 3
Simplify ------> 18/3
Divide --------> 6
