A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5
b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3
c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8
A^2 + 31 = 155 - I squared each of b and c for those numbers
a^2 = 155 - 31
a^2 = 124
a = 4 * sqrt(31)
<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Solution:</u>
Given: x=30
To solve: 
On substituting the value of x,

On dividing 30 and 5 we get,

So, the option is 15.
R = 13.1
so
<span>diameter = 13.1 x 2 = 26.2 km
</span>circumference = 2 pi r = 26.2 pi km
or
circumference = 26.2 x 3.14 = 82.27 km
