Lake circumference

The circumference of lake in km is the number b, which must be added to the empty space in the equation below so that its solution is x = 12,000.
(x/30) + (x/20) = x - …………

Final Answer:

b =  11000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

x=12000 km  (x/30)+(x/20)=xb (12000/30)+(12000/20)=12000b  60b=660000  b=60660000=11000  b=11000=11000 km
