Question 979379: A hexagon has two sides each of length 3x inches. It has three sides each of length 2 inches. The sixth side has a length of 15 inches. If the perimeter of the hexagon is 135 inches, what is the value of x?

A hexagon has two sides each of length 3x inches. 
1st side = 3x
2nd side = 3x

It has three sides each of length 2 inches. 
3rd side = 2
4th side = 2
5th side = 2

The sixth side has a length of 15 inches. 
6th side = 15

If the perimeter of the hexagon is 135 inches, 


3x + 3x + 2 + 2 + 2 + 15 = 135

what is the value of x?
Solve the equation and that will be the value of x.
