Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

7 + 11x + 60 = -13 + 3x

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Combine like terms: 11x + 67 = -13 + 3x
Subtract 3x on both sides: 8x + 67 = -13
Subtract 67 on both sides: 8x = -80
Divide both sides by 8: x = -10

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

7 + 11(-10) + 60 = -13 + 3(-10)

67 - 110 = -13 - 30

-43 = -43

A regular hexagonal prism has an edge length 12 cm, and height 10 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest tenth.

Alexeev081 [22]

Check the picture below.

so the volume will simply be the area of the hexagonal face times the height.

$\textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\stackrel{\qquad degrees}{\cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)}~~ \begin{cases} n=\stackrel{number~of}{sides}\\ s=\stackrel{length~of}{side}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n=6\\ s=12 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)(12)^2\cot\left( \frac{180}{6} \right) \\\\\\ A=216\cot(30^o)\implies A=216\sqrt{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{(216\sqrt{3})}~~\stackrel{height}{(10)}\implies 2160\sqrt{3}~~\approx ~~3741.2~cm^3$
