Apiece of gum is stuck at the bottom of a

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the pre-calculus version of the arc length problem.  The formula we need for this is:

where s is the arc length (here, the distance she has to travel to get the gum off the tire), r is the radius, and theta is the angle given (the angle here always always has to be in radians!!!)  Filling in accordingly, we get

Do the math.  You need the answer rounded to the nearest inch, so that means you have to multiply in the pi (I used 3.1415):

s = 8 inches

true

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
