You can’t simplify it any further. 288 1/4 is already simplified.
First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.
So the amount needed=area of circle times height
area formula=pi times radius^2
height=3/4
so
pi=aprox 3.14
radius=7
3.14 times 7^2
3.14 times 49
153.86
times 3/4
115.395 in^3
answer is 115.4 cubic inches
