Gmat 7:
Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, arc ABC is 2/3 of the circumference. So the circumference = 36.

Remember that the formula for circumference is C = D(pi). So far you have 36 = D(3.14). Solve for D. D is approximately 11.

Gmat 2:
4+y=-5 ==> y = -9
4+z=m

e+y=n ==> e=n+9
e+z=10 ==> n+9+z=10 ==> n+z=1 ==> n+m-4=1
==> n+m=5

Gmat 30:
(1) INSUFFICIENT: There is no way of knowing if these are the only two tollbooths, or if there are many more.

(2) INSUFFICIENT: There is no way of knowing the distance between the tollbooths. Could be greater than 10 miles, or less than.

(1) & (2): SUFFICIENT: If the first and last tollbooths are 25 miles apart, and there are 4 tollbooths, there has to be a pair of tollbooths less than 10 miles apart. You can check this by trying the find the distance between the tollbooths if they are evenly-spaced apart. 25/4 = 6.25 < 10. So the maximum that the tollbooth can be apart is 6.25 miles, before it start come closer to another tollbooth.
