Answer: x=−9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−2(x+14)+1=5
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2(x+14)+1=5(−2)(x)+(−2)(14)+1=5(Distribute)−2x+

Remember that the formula for the circumference, , of a circle is:
In this case, we are not given the diameter. However, remember that the diameter is equivalent to two times the radius of a circle. Thus,
,
and we can say the circumference of our circle is:
The circumference of our circle is 50.24 units.
<em>Also, a little side note not relating to the question:</em>
<em>Remember that is spelled as "pi" not "pie." Pie is a dessert, while pi is a mathematical constant.</em>
