1 answer:

6 0

A + 5 = $\frac{1}{5}$ (5a + 25)

First, simplify $\frac{1}{5} (5a + 25)$ to $\frac{5a+25}{5}$ / Your problem should look like: $a + 5 = \frac{5a+25}{5}$
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: $5a + 25 = 5(a + 5)$
Third, expand to get rid of parenthesis. / Your problem should look like: $5a + 25 = 5a + 25$
Fourth, both sides are equal, resulting it having infinite solutions.

Answer: infinite solutions

A circle has a radius of 3 cm. How does the circumference of the circle compare to the area? Drag and drop a phrase to correctly

Lilit [14]

The circumference is about 3.14 ( $\pi$ ) times bigger than twice the radius. Mathematically, this can be writted as $C = 2 \pi r$ , where C equals the circumference and r equals the radius, or $C = \pi d$ where C equals the circumference and d equals the radius.
