The circumference can be obtained fairly easily by simply substituting the d in c = πd for the colony's given diameter of 12 mm. Performing that calculation using the approximation of π ≈ 3.14, we obtain a circumference of 12 x 3.14 = 37.68 mm.
To find the radius, remember how the diameter and radius of a circle are defined. The radius is a length extending from the center of a circle to a point on its circumference, and a diameter is a line extending from one point on the circle's circumference to an opposite point, passing through the circle's center along the way. The diameter can, in this way, be defined as twice the length of the radius, which means we can find the radius of a circle by taking half of its diameter. In this case, our diameter is 12 mm, so our radius would be 6 mm.
The correct answer is C. Let’s break this down with the distributive property.
5(6x+6)
30x+30
5(9-x)
45-5x
Now add and subtract like terms.
30x-5x=25x
30+45=75
Put the remaining numbers together.
25x+75 and there you go.
Answer: D
When you multiply out the fraction it gives you (3/2)x + 7/4
-3x + 4 > 5
-3x > 5 - 4
-3x > 1
x < 1/-3
x < -1/3
