x and x+4 are the numbers

3x=2(x+4)

3x=2x+8

3x-2x=8

x=8

x+4=12

Find the circumference of the circle with radius 28 cm.<br><br>

Artist 52 [7]

The circumference of the circle that has a radius of 28 cm is: 175.9 cm..

<h3>What is the Circumference of a Circle?</h3>

Circumference of a circle = 2 × π × r, where r = radius of the circle.

Given that a circle has:

radius (r) = 28 cm

Therefore:

Circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r

Plug in the value of r

Circumference = 2 × π × 28

= 175.9 cm.

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x

Sati [7]

Answer:

$x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $y = 5\cdot x + 11$ and $t = 2-x$ , the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) $t = 2-x$ Given

2) $y = 5\cdot x +11$ Given

3) $y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11$ Associative and modulative properties

4) $y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11$ Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) $y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11$ Associative property

6) $y = -5\cdot (-x)+11$ $\frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ / $(-1)\cdot a = -a$

7) $y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11$ Modulative property

8) $y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11$ Existence of additive inverse

9) $y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11$ Associative and commutative properties

10) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11$ Distributive property

11) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21$ $(-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b$

12) $y = (-5)\cdot t +21$ By 1)

13) $y = -5\cdot t +21$ $(-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b$ /Result

14) $t+x = (2-x)+x$ Compatibility with addition

15) $t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t)$ Compatibility with addition

16) $[t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t)$ Associative property

17) $0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t)$ Associative property

18) $x = 2-t$ Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is $x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$ .

Sue drank 2/5 of her water bottle and sally drank 4/10 of her water bottle how much water did both girls drank?

stealth61 [152]

well, clearly the LCD from the denominators of 5 and 10 is just 10, thus

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{Sue}}{\cfrac{2}{5}}+\stackrel{\textit{Sally}}{\cfrac{4}{10}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(2)2~~+~~(1)4}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2+4}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{simplified}}{\cfrac{3}{5}}$
