2 2/4 is the mixed number then reduced to 2 1/2
C=2x Pi x R so 2x3.14x17.5 = 109.9
This means that X in the equation equals -1
Let's solve your equation step by step
-8=3-5(x+6)
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
-8=3-5(x+6)
-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)
-8=3+-5x+-30
-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)
-8=-5x+-27
-8=-5x-27
Step 2: flip the equation
-5x-27=-8
Step 3: add 27 to both sides
-5x-27+27=-8+27
-5x=19
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5 = 19/-5
Answer : x= -19/5
The distributive property of division over addition and substraction is idk
