The surface area of the planet is 103,184,713.4 miles².

<h3>What is the surface area?</h3>

A planet has the shape of a sphere.

The first step is to determine the radius of the planet from the circumference.

Radius = circumference / (π x 2)

18,000 / (3.14 x 2) = 2,866.24 miles

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

4 x 3.14 x ( 2,866.24²) = 103,184,713.4 miles²

ANSWER

$\frac{2x + 5}{4}$

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify

$\frac{x + 3}{4} + \frac{x + 2}{4}$

The fractions have the same denominator so we write one denominator and add the numerators to obtain,

$\frac{x + 3 + x + 2}{4}$

Regroup in the denominator to get,

$\frac{x + x + 3 + 2}{4}$

This simplifies to;

$\frac{2x + 5}{4}$
