3(x + 2) - x = 42
3x + 6 -x = 42
2x = 36
x = 18
answer
smaller number: 18
bigger number: 18 + 2 = 20

A pizza has a diameter of 14 inches what is the approximate circumference

Savatey [412]

To find the circumference of a circle you can use either of these equations
3.14 X Diameter or 2 X 3.14 X Radius. But in this case we will use the first one. So 3.14 X 14 = 47.6 so the circumference of this circle would be 47.6 inches.
I hope this helps :)
