Charlie solved an equation, as shown below:

1 answer:

4 0

Part A : His solution is incorrect because whenever you have a number "connected to" the variable, you have to divide. & what you do to one side, you have to do to the other. So, for step 2, instead of subtracting 5, you divide by 5. By doing this, you will then have 'x' by itself on the left, & on the right 30/5= 6. So, x=6.

Showing...
Step 1: 5x=30
Step 2: 5x/5=30/5 (the 5s cancel out, leaving you just x on the left)
Step 3: x=6

Part B : This solution will have only 1 answer, & that answer is 6. -6 wouldn't be counted as one because if you plug -6 into the equation as x, the sides won't equal, you'll have -30=30 which isn't true.

Hope this makes sense & helps you ! (:

Please help, been struggling with this for almost a week now.

Answer:

$A \approx 1140.3\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to find the diameter of the circle. We are told the point $N$ is the circle, so we can assume it is the center of the circle. To find the diameter we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\40^2 + 9^2 = c^2\\1600 + 81 = c^2\\1681 = c^2\\\sqrt{1681} = c\\41 = c$

The diameter is $41$ units, which means the radius is $\frac{41}{2}$ . From here we can calculate the area of the circle:

$A_c = \pi r^2\\A_c = \pi (\frac{41}{2})^2\\A_c = \pi 420.25\\A_c \approx 1320.25$

Now we need to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the circle. Calculate the area of the triangle:

$A_t = \frac{bh}{2}\\A_t = \frac{40 \times 9}{2}\\A_t = \frac{360}{2}\\A_t = 180$

Subtract the triangle area from the circle area to get the area of the shaded area:

$A = A_c - A_t\\A = \pi420.25 - 180\\A = 1140.25431\\A \approx 1140.3\ units^2$
