Answer:
x = 3(6 + y)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x
Add 3y to both sides.
2x = 18 + 3y
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 18 + 3y/2
Factor out the common term 3.
x = 3(6 + y)/2
"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3
Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:
"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4
x - 3 = 4 is your answer.
To solve for x:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.
x - 3 = 4
x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)
x = 4 - 3
x = 1
1 is your answer for x.

The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees. If 3 angles are congruent, each with measure x degrees, and the other 3 angles are also congruent to each other, each with measure 2x degrees, then the total sum of all 6 angles would be 3x + 3(2x) = 9x. If this is equal to 720, then x = 80 degrees, while 2x = 160 degrees.
Therefore, there are 3 80-degree angles and 3 160-degree angles.
Product = multiply
3/4 x 12 = 9
17 + 9 = 26
