The values of y are 1 and 3

What is distance formula -

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

x1 and y1 are x and y coordinates of a point.

similarly x2 and y2 are x and y coordinates of another point.

Explanation with steps -

As point P is equidistant from Q and R, the distances PQ and PR should be the same.

So, calculate distance PQ can be calculated from the above formula

The distance PQ is \sqrt{50}

now use this distance to calculate the unkown 'y'

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{49+(y-2)^2}

Squaring both sides

50 = 49 + (y-2)^{2}

y^{2}-4y+3=0

On factorizing,

(y-1)(y-3)=0

Thus we get values of y to be 1 or 3

What is -2(5+6n)&lt;6(8-2n)
Lady bird [3.3K]
If you are trying to simplify it, I think it would be -22<36. Im not sure because I haven't learned this that much in school yet. I do know that if you are confused on how to do it, you can use...

Excuse

This is the order that you do to solve the problem, For example,
P stands for Parentheses
E stands for Exponents
M stands for Multiplication
D stands for Division
A stands for Addition
S stands for Subtraction
This is the order of how you solve the problem. If one of the things aren't in the particular problem, then skip that certain step. For example if Addition wasn't in the problem, then you would skip the A. I hope this helps!

Find the value of x when y = 3, (y + 5) + 3y = x.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(y + 5) + 3y = x ← substitute y = 3

(3 + 5) + 3(3) = x, that is

8 + 9 = x, thus

x = 17

The angle formed by the intersection of 2 tangents outside the circle equals half the difference of the <span>intercepted arcs.

</span>far arc = 253°
near arc = 360 - 253 = 107°

x = (253 - 107)/2 = 146/2 = 73°
