685,000,000 would be the right number. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:
4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.
And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.
Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.
Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.
[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]
12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13
Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.
x = 1
Answer:
Swimming one time around the pool is 56.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Swimming 18 ft from one side of her circular pool to the other, swimming straight through the center means the circular swimming pool has a diameter of d=18 ft.
The circumference of the circle is calculated using:

where d=18 is the diameter and π=3.14 as given.
We substitute the values to get:


We approximate to the nearest tenth to get:

It is three cuz when replace with three it is all equal:
3(2)-3=3
6-3=3
3=3
please rate as brainliest and hope this helps :)
