Answer:
5x - 2 = 3x = 14
8x -2 = 14
8x = 14 + 2
8x = 16
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of circumference to diameter is independent of the radius.
Defining C=circumference, r=radius, D=diameter = 2r
Circumference = C = 2 π r = π D
=>
ratio of circumference / diameter
= C/D = π
Assume Josh made X cupcakes; Alice made Y cupcakes; Tom made Z cupcakes.
Josh made 10 more cakes than Alice so,
X = Y + 10 ---- 1st Eqn.
Alice made 8 more than Tom so,
Y= Z+8 --- 2nd Eqn.
Total cakes = 62 so,
X+Y+Z = 62 ---- 3rd Eqn.
by solving three equations we get X= 30; Y= 20; Z=12.
So Tom made 12 cupcakes
