So, a full circle has 360°, thus when the minute hand does one hour, it does a full circle, therefore 360°.

now, how many degrees are there in 1 minute?  well, there are 60 minutes in 360°, therefore there are 360/60 degrees in 1 minute, or 6°.

now, we know in 1 hour there are 360°, how many in 27 minutes?  well, 27 * 6, or 162°.  So after 1hr and 27min, the minute hand has done 360+162 or 522°.

we also know the minute hand is 2 inches long, thus

\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\pi \theta r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=2\\
\theta =522
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{\pi \cdot 522\cdot 2}{180}


which is roughly 18 inches rounded up.

Combining like terms with negative coefficients<br><br> −n+(−4)−(−4n)+6
Serjik [45]
Remember, if you add negative four, you're really subtracting four, or if you take away negative four, you're really adding four.

-n+(-4)-(-4n)+6
-n-4+4n+6 simplify
{-n+4n are like terms, so combine them. -n+4n is exactly the same as 4n-n, so flip them around if it helps. Just remember to keep the sign with the right number. Same thing with -4+6.}

Answer:

3n+2
