140 is the answer! hope it helped

Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
There would be a hole when x = -4.
If you factor both the top and the bottom, you will see that the factor (x + 4) is in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, the would be a hole when x = -4 because that would also make the denominator 0.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.
Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.
Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")
Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.
We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: 
We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures 
, so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):
Area of hexagon = 
which is the last option given in the list.
Answer:
15/30:2/30
15/30=2/30x
divide by 15/30
7.5 is x
