Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.

Answer:
7) circumference = 11.78 ft
8) arc NMP = 198° or 27.63 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
7) circumference = πd = (3.14) (3 3/4) = 11.78 ft
8) radius = 8 ft
diameter = 2 x 8 = 16 ft
arc NM + arc QP = 360° - 162° - 162° = 36°
arc NM = arc QP because they are arcs of vertical angles.
arc QP = 18°
arc NMQ = 180°
arc NMP = 180° + 18° = 198°
circumference = πd = (3.14)(16) = 50.24 ft
(198°/360°)(50.24) = 27.63 ft
