4 + 2x = 7
2x = 7 - 4 = 3
x = 3/2 = 1.5 inches
1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5
To solve for S, you would want to get rid of the denominator so multiply 360 onto both sides. then the equation is 360A=pi times r squared times S. Divide both sides by pi and r squared and you get S=360A/pi times r squared
