Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2) = 3(x+2)-8

Multiply the 2 and 3 out to the numbers in the parentheses. Don't multiply the 3 out to the -8 because it is outside of the parentheses.

2x-4 = 3x+6-8

Combine the 6 and -8

2x-4 = 3x-2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x-2

Add 2 to both sides

-2=x

Answer:

This is a linear equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, also known as the value of y when x = 0. Our independent variable is the number of miles we travel, and we will call that x. If we pay .20 per mile, and miles is "x", we represent that as .20x. The 70 is the amount we will pay per day even if we drive 0 miles. Therefore, the equation is:

y = .20x + 70.

I cannot graph this for you here.

We can choose a number of miles, say 100, and solve for our cost:

y = .20(100) + 70

y = 20 + 70

y = 90

We can expect to pay $90 if we drive 100 miles in a day.

The diameter of the plate is 12, and the formula for finding circumference is diameter times pie. so you multiply pie (or 3.14 if you aren't using a calculator) times 12 and it should give you 37.6991. rounded to the nearest tenth, that's 37.7, hope I helped!
