if the sum of the diameters of two circles is 28 inches one circle has a diameter that is 8 inches longer than the diameter of the other what are the diameters of the two circles

2 answers

x + x + 8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10

x = diameter of the smaller circle
x = diameter of 1 circle
x + 8 = diameter of 2nd circle

x + x + 8 = 28
2x + 8 = 28

Solve for x
