5x -12 = -32
Group of answer choices

x = 5

x = 4

x = -4

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Note that: PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponent (& Roots)

& is the order of operation.

In this case:

First, add 12 to both sides:

5x - 12 (+12) = -32 (+12)

5x = -32 + 12

5x = -20

Next, isolate the variable, x, by dividing 5 from both sides:

(5x)/5 = (-20)/5

x = -20/5

x = -4

x = -4 is your answer.

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
