6x - 2(x + 4) = 12 use distributive property

6x + (-2)(x) + (-2)(4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12 add 8 to both sides

4x = 20 divide both sides by 4

x = 5

To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property

6x - 2(x + 4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12

(always remember to sort your negatives!)

Add like terms

4x - 8 = 12

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4

x = 5

borishaifa [10]

Answer: $x+y\geq 1$ , $x>\frac{1}{4}$ , $x\geq 2y$ and $y\geq 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of hours Zoe spent running on her wheel and y represents the number of hours spent scratching her cage.

Julie was awoke for at least an hour running on her exercise wheel and scratching the of her cage.

⇒ $x+y\geq 1$

She ran on her wheel at least twice as long as she scratched at the corners of her cage.

⇒ $x\geq 2y$

Also, She spent more than 1/4 hour running on her wheel.

⇒ $x>\frac{1}{4}$

And, we know that number of hours can not be negative.

⇒ $y\geq 0$

Therefore, the complete system of inequality which shows the given situation is,

$x+y\geq 1$ , $x>\frac{1}{4}$ and $x\geq 2y$ , $y\geq 0$

Note: the feasible region ( covered by the given system) is shown in the below graph.

Please help I’ll mark brainliest

Answer:

166.27 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of hexagon = $\frac{3*\sqrt{3} }{2}$ * $a^{2}$ where a = length of 1 side

this hexagon is made of 6 equivalent triangle

consider ABC triangle

let AC length be x

AB = 2 * AC = 2x = a

$bc^{2} = ab^{2} - ac^{2} \\(4\sqrt{3})^{2} =(2x)^{2} - x^{2} \\48=3*x^{2}\\ 16=x^{2} \\x=4$

Hence a = 8

hence area of hexagon = $\frac{3*\sqrt{3} }{2}$ * $a^{2}$ = $\frac{3*\sqrt{3} }{2}$ * $8^{2}$ = 166.27 m2
