Well, we'll use the distributive property whenever x by itself is being added/subtracted to another number and a number is outside the parentheses :P.

3(x + 5) ------> 3 times x + 3 times 5 -----> 3x + 15.

2(x + 2) ------> 2 times x + 2 times 2 -----> 2x + 2

Now once you get all the variables on the left side of the equation and the positive numbers on the right side of the equation, x = 9. To check, just type this problem into an algebraic calculator and you'll get the same results! c:

[tex] 3(x + 5) - 2(x + 2) = 20 \\
3x + 15 - 2x - 4 = 20\\
5x + 11 = 20\\
5x = 9\\
x = 1\frac{4}{5} [tex]

Find the area of the shaded region of the circle. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:Area of shaded region is 454.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area of circle = πr^2

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

r = 14

Area of the circle = 3.14 × 14^2 = 615.44

The shaded area is a sector

Area of a sector is expressed as

Area = #/360 × πr^2

Where

# = 94 = central angle

Area of sector = 94/360 × 3.14 × 14

= 160.68

Area of shaded region would be

615.44 - 160.68

= 454.97

Find the perimeter of the figure shown to the right.
tia_tia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

that is very simple. you do understand the word "perimeter" ? it just means the distance when walking around the whole shape once.

and that clearly means to just add all side lengths.

that's it.

so, 25 + 18 + 18 + 20 + 17 = 98 ft

was there any other problem with this you did not understand ?
