Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

V = rw

where; v = velocity , r = radius , w = angular speed

you're given the diameter = 0.5 miles so the radius = 0.25 miles

180 = (0.25)w
180/0.25 = w
720 radians per hour = w

2pi radians in 1 revolution

720 rad/hr * 1 rev / 2pi rad = 720/2pi rev/hr
= 114.6 rev/hr
