An 'equation' is a statement that you're given, and you're told that it's true.

You can add or subtract the same number to each side of the equation, and you

can multiply or divide each side of the equation by the same number, without

changing the truth of the statement. These handy operations are the methods

you use to tease out the value that the equation's variable must have in order

for the statement to be true.

(There's no such thing as the 'value' of an equation, only the truth of the equation,

and the value of its left side, its right side, and its variable.)

five


How do you find the number of diagonals in a shape?

you subtract 3 from the number of sides then multiply that by the number of sides divided by 2


What is the number of sides in a hexagon multiplied by the number of sides in a pentagon?

A hexagon has 6 sides, and a pentagon has 5 sides. Thus, if you were to multiply the number of sides of a hexagon with the number of sides of a pentagon, you would get a total number of 30 sides.

you multiply 180 by the number of sides


How do you find the area of irregular quadrilateral when sides are given give with example?

You cannot. A square can be distorted into a rhombus without changing the lengths of any of the sides, but with a different area. Similarly, the shape of any quadrilateral can be altered without affecting the length of its sides but changing its area.


You get the same result if you multiply a number by 7 or if you multiply the number by 2 and then add 20 Find the number?

Suppose the number is x. Then 7x = 2x + 20 Subtract 2x from both sides: 5x = 20 Divide both sides by 5: x = 4


How many sides do 4 hexagons?

A hexagon has 6 sides. To figure out the total number of sides of four hexagons, simply multiply 6 by 4:Total number of sides = 6(4) = 24


What are the Total sides of four rectangles?

Each rectangle has four sides. Therefore, for four rectangles, you would multiply the number of rectangles by the number of sides per rectangle: 4 rectangles × 4 sides/rectangle = 16 sides. Thus, the total number of sides of four rectangles is 16.


How many sides are on thirteen hexagons?

A hexagon has 6 sides. To figure out the total number of sides on 13 hexagons, simply multiply these two numbers together:Total number of sides = 6 x 13 = 78


What do you need to do to the inequality sign if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

Leave it alone. You cannot make an inequality into an equality by multiplying both sides of the inequation by the same number. If instead of the inequality sign you are using a lesser or greater than sign, however, you will need to reverse it if you multiply both sides by the same negative number, e.g. 10>4. If you multiply both sides by -2, you need to change the > into a <, so -20<-8


What is the perimeter of an octagon tat measures 4 inches on each sides?

What you do to get your answer is to multiply the number of sides (8) times the number of measurement the sides are measured with (4) so your answer should be 32. hope this worked for you (it should)
