8+2(5 - x) = Need help

1 answer:

7 0

We can distribute
2(5)+2(-x)=10-2x

we get
8+10-2x=?
18-2x=?

whatever that ? is, we don't know
multiply both sides by -1
2x-18=-?
add 18 to both sides
2x=18-?
divide bth sides by 2
x=9-(?/2)
whatever the left side it, just divide it by 2 and subtract it from 9

What is the approximate radius of the disc if the area is 78.5 square inches?

Shtirlitz [24]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=78.5 \end{cases}\implies 78.5=\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{78.5}{\pi }=r^2 \\\\\\ \sqrt{\cfrac{78.5}{\pi }}=r\implies 4.99873244587\approx r$
