5x - (2x - 1) = 2

Distribute the - sign.

5x - 2x + 1 = 2

Combine like terms.

3x + 1 = 2

Subtract 1 from both sides.

3x = 1

Divide both sides by 3

x = 1/3 or 0.33

The formula of an area of a circle:

$A=\pi r^2$

r - a radius

We have r = 14m. Substitute:

$A=\pi\cdot14^2=196\pi\ m^2$

If you want an approximate area, you can accept $\pi\approx3.14$

Then:

$A\approx196\cdot3.14=615.44\ m^2$

For what value of x is PQ || BC? A 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

C. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

$In\: \triangle ABC\\\overline{PQ} \parallel \overline {BC}.. (given) \\$

Therefore, by Basic Proportionality theorem:

$\frac{AP}{PB} = \frac{AQ}{QC} \\\\\therefore \frac{x}{x+7} = \frac{x-3}{x+1} \\\\ \therefore \: \frac{x - x - 7}{x + 7} = \frac{x - 3 - x - 1}{x + 1} \\ (by \: dividendo) \\ \\ \frac{ - 7}{x + 7} = \frac{ - 4}{x + 1} \\ \\ \frac{7}{x + 7} = \frac{4}{x + 1} \\ \\ 7x + 7 = 4x + 28 \\ \\ 7x - 4x = 28 - 7 \\ \\ 3x = 21 \\ \\ x = \frac{21}{3} \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 7}}$
