Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
20x + 20 = 200
-20 -20
20x. = 180
x = 9
Check the picture below.
so the area of the hexagon is really just the area of two isosceles trapezoids.

This one is simple since we already have the two x variables.equal. All we have to do is subtract the equations from one another to get the answer.
So i will subtract the left side by the other left side and the right side by the other right side
-8x - 8y -(-8x + 2y) = 0 -(-20)
distribute negative sign
-8x - 8y + 8x - 2y = 0 + 20
do the math
- 10y = 20
Y = -2
plug t into an equation
-8x -8 (-2) = 0
-8x + 16 = 0
-8x = -16
x = 2
answer (2, -2)
Answer:
The original selling price would be $ 515.87 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original selling price ( in dollars ),
After marking down 10%,
New selling price = x - 10% of x = x - 0.1x = 0.9x
Again after marking down 30%,
Final selling price = 0.9x - 30% of 0.9x
= 0.9x - 0.3 × 0.9x
= 0.9x - 0.27x
= 0.63x
According to the question,
0.63x = 325

Hence, the original selling price would be $ 515.87.
