After a bicycle tire has done 10 rotations, it has traveled 879.2 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the radius of the tire.

14in approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

number of rotations= 10

Distance travelled=  879.2 inches

Hence if in 10 rotations the distance covered is  879.2 inches

               in 1 rotation the distance covered will be x inches

cross multiply

10x= 879.2

x=  879.2/10

x=  87.92 inches

This means that the circumference of the  tire is 87.92 in

From

C= 2πr

Let us solve for r

87.92=2*3.142*r

87.92=6.284r

r= 87.92/6.284

r= 13.9

Hence the radius is 14in approx

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
