x = 150 did this help you?
Just subtract the distance between the corner and jims house from 23x - 2 and you'll get your answer. I just got the correct answer.
Consider this option:
1. if the point (4;6) is the centre of the circle and the point (2;5) is the first endpoint of its diameter, then point (4;6) is the middle point of the diameter (it means that is the middle between the 1st and the 2d endpoints of diameter).
2. using the property described above:
for x of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: x=4*2-2=6;
for y of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: y=6*2-5=7.
answer: (6;7)
At 1/8 of a gallon you can mow 2 1/4 so for 1 gallon just multiply 2 1/4 by 8
16+2 is 18
Note: This is a perfect application for equations of ratios.

------- = ------- and so 50x = 1200, or 5x = 120, or x = 24 (miles).
