Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)
2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x + 12 = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8
-7x + 12 = -16
-7x = -16 -12
-7x = -28
x = -28/-7
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
r-5r-6s+8s-15
-4r+2s-15
= 2s-4r-15
we have that
*-------------------------*--------------------------------*
E F G
EF=2x-12
FG= 3x-15
EG=23
we know that
EF + FG = EG
so
[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify
5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides
5x = 50 divide both sides by 5
x = 10
EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8
FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15
therefore
the answer part a) is
the value of x is 10
the answer part b) is
the value of EF is 8
the answer part c) is
the value of FG is 15
It would quadruple the area of the circle.
