17 = 3(p - 5) + 8 *if you could do it step by step that would be great*

p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

17 = 3 ( p - 5 ) + 8

Distribute

17 = 3p - 15 + 8

Simplify

17 = 3p - 7

Inverse operations

17 = 3p - 7

+7         +7

24 = 3p

/3    /3

8 = p

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to distribute the 3 with the values in the parentheses.

Then combine like terms...

Divide by 3 to get the variable by itself.

step-by-step explanation:

2/5+1/2=9/10

6/1-9/10=5 1/10

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
