Circumference/diameter= 47.1/15=3.14
1/4x -2 = -6 + 5/12x
3x - 24 = -72 +5x
3x -5x = -72 +24
-2x = -48
x = 24
To solve this, we simply need to remember our rules about order of operations. They tell us that first, we should distribute the 2 with the rest of the parentheses.
5-2(x-3)
5-2x+6
Next, we should combine our like-terms.
5-2x+6
11-2x
Seeing as we do not know the value of the variable, the simplest form of the expression is 11-2x.
It’s -2 for the first box and then 3
