Answer:

D 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2(x-4) = 20

Divide each side by 2

2/2(x-4) = 20/2

x-4 = 10

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 10+4

x = 14

Answer:

The number is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call this unknown number of x:

2×(x – 4) = 20

2x – 8 = 20

2x = 20 + 8

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

HELP PLEASE. A pizza shop charges customers based on the area of the pizza they order. The cost of a pizza in dollars can be rep

san4es73 [151]

For this case we have that the cost of each pizza is given by the following function:

$S (r) = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2$

Where:

r: It's the radius of the pizza

IF a pizza cost $26.32 we have:

$26.32 = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2$

We cleared the radius, using $\pi = 3.14$ :

$\frac {26.32} {0.1} = \pi * r ^ 2\\263.2 = 3.14r ^ 2\\\frac {263.2} {3.14} = r ^ 2\\83.82 = r ^ 2\\r = \pm \sqrt {83.82}$

We choose the positive value:

$r = 9.15$

So, the radius of the pizza is $9.16 \ in$

Then, the diameter is: $2r = 2 * 9.15 = 18.30 \ in$

Finally, the diameter of the pizza is: $18.30 \ in$
