By the difference of "5 and a number", I assume you mean that number minus 5. In that case, the expression is 8 times (x-5).
If by "the difference of 5 and a number" you mean 5 minus that number, then the expression is 8 times (5-x).
Answer:
x >-1

Answer:
x = 5, x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you can notice both terms of the equation are divisible by 2, so you can factor it out to get:
2(x^2 - 25) = 0
You can recognize the expression x^2 - 25 as the special product for the difference of squares, so it would be factored into (x + 5)(x - 5). When we plug it in we get:
2(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
Now, we can use the zero-product property to get two equations:
x + 5 = 0
-and-
x - 5 = 0
Solving them both we get:
x = 5, x = -5
To find how far she will spin in one turn you will find the circumference of the circle that has a radius of 4.6 feet.
C = 2 x pi x r
2 x 3.14 x 4.6
C = 28.9 feet
She will travel about 28.9 feet in one spin.
