Using proportions, it is found that one mechanic could assemble 5 bicycles in 8 hours, and it would take 40 hours to assemble 25 bicycles.

The equation is: b = 0.625t.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, two mechanics can assemble 10 bicycles in 8 hours. How many bicycles could one mechanic assemble in 8 hours? Hence the <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

2 mechanics - 10 bicycles.

1 mechanic - x bicycle.

Applying cross multiplication:

2x = 10 -> x = 5 bicycles in 8 hours.

Hence the equation for the number of bicycles in t hours of a single mechanic is given by:

b = 5/8t = 0.625t.

For 25 bicycles, we have that:

25 = 0.625t.

t = 25/0.625.

t = 40 hours.

Answer:

the center is (-4,7) and the radius is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of a circle can be found using the equation (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 and is (h,k) from it. Notice h and k are the opposite value as in the equation.  

First write the equation in this form.  

x^2 + 8x + ( ?)+ y^2 - 14y + (?) + 56 = 0  

Complete the square with each variable to find what numbers should go in place of the question marks.  

(8/2)^2 = 4^2 = 16  

(-14/2)^2 = -7^2 = 49  

Add 16 and 49 to both sides of the equation.  

x^2 + 8x + 16 + y^2 - 14y + 49 + 56 = 16 + 49\\(x+4)^2 + (y-7)^2 + 56 = 65\\(x+4)^2 + (y-7)^2 = 9  

So the center is (-4,7) and the radius is 3.
