4) The diameter of a circle is 32m. The radius is represented by 4(x + 2).
Part A: Write an equation you can use to find the value of x.
Part B: What is the value of x?

The value of x is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 2r (1)

where r is the radius

The value of the diameter = 32 m   and  radius is given to be 4(x+2)

substitute the above into equation (1)   and then solve for x

32  =  2 [ 4(x + 2)]

first open the inner bracket

32 = 2[4x + 8}

then open the outer bracket

32 = 8x + 16

subtract 16 from both-side of the equation

32 - 16 = 8x +16 - 16

16 = 8x

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

16/8  = 8x/8

2 = x

x = 2

Therefore, the value of x is 2

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
