Question

A circle with a radius of 4 inches has a diameter that is 3x+5 inches long. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

The radius of a circle is half of the diameter.

Because we know this, we can multiply the radius by 2 to equal the diameter:

4*2=3x+5

Then we solve for x:

8=3x+5

3=3x

x=1
