So the question is asking to solve for y

You know RS=7y-4

You know ST=y+5

You know RT=28

RS+ST=RT as shown in the diagram, This means that you can use that equation and replace RS,ST, and RT with what you know they are equal too. So you end up with the equation:

(7y-4)+(y+5)=28, Now you have to solve for y

7y-4+y+5=28

8y+1=28

8y=27

y=3.375

How do you solve for an area of a circle?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Identify the radius of a circle. The radius is the length from the center of a circle to the edge of the circle. You can measure this in any direction and the radius will be the same. The radius is also one half of the diameter of a circle. The diameter is the line segment that passes through the center and connects opposite sides of the circle.[1]

The radius will generally be provided to you. It can be difficult to measure to the exact center of a circle, unless the center is already marked for you on a circle drawn on paper.

For this example, assume that you are told that the radius of a given circle is 6 cm.

I think you meant “a” other than “x” which a equals 6. Hopefully, this helps!
