$\\
\text{Consider the equation}\\
\\
7a-2b=5a+b\\
\\
\text{to solve for a, we will first add 2b both sides. so we get}\\
\\
7a-2b+2b=5a+b+2b\\
\\
\Rightarrow 7a=5a+3b\\
\\
\text{now subtract 5a both sides. so we have}\\
\\
7a-5a=3b\\
\\
\Rightarrow 2a=3b\\
\\
\text{divide 2 both sides to get}\\
\\
\Rightarrow a=\frac{3b}{2}$

Hence the value of a is: 3b/2

Figure FGHIJK is a regular hexagon. Segment FK is located at F (1, 2) and K (4, 2). What is the perimeter of FGHIJK?a 14 units b

ohaa [14]

Answer:

c. 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points F and K are 3 units apart. (Both are on the horizontal line at y=2, so the segment length is the difference of x-coordinates: 4 -1 = 3.)

Points F and K are adjacent vertices of the hexagon, so the perimeter will be 6 times the length of KF: 6·(3 unit) = 18 units.
