Let C and d be the circumference and diameter of a circle, respectively. Then
C = πd
so that
π = C/d = C/12
X-y=2 (*-2) --> -2x+2y=-4
2x+3y=14
------------------
2x+3y=14
-2x+2y=-4
------------------
5y=10
y=2
In this equation, you are solving for y. Simply isolate the variable by adding 1/4 to each side. The -1/4 and 1/4 will cancel out on the right side of the equation, leaving only y:
5/4 = y - 1/4
5/4 + 1/4 = y - 1/4 + 1/4
6/4 = y
y = 6/4
Don't forget to simplify y:
y = 3/2
The answer is 48.
A= Hight x Width
Multiply 12 x 4 and you will get 48.
