<span><u>3(x - 8) - 5 = 9(x + 2) + 1</u></span>

First, you have to get rid of the parentheses:

3(x - 8) is the same as 3x - 24, so the left side is 3x - 29 .

9(x + 2) is the same as 9x + 18, so the right side is 9x + 19 .

Now, the equation is:    3x - 29 = 9x + 19

Subtract 19 from each side:    3x - 48 = 9x

Subtract 3x from each side:        - 48 = 6x

Divide each side by 6 :               <u> - 8 = x </u>

(I guess the answer is <em>not</em> 7.166 after all.)

Answer:

37.68cm

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2 \pi r

C = circumference

\pi = the constant pi (3.14)

r = radius of the circle (6cm)

d      =      diameter of the circle (12cm)

d = 2r

C = 2 · 3.14 · 6

C = 37.68cm
