7 lb will cover an area of 1 square foot, while 315 lb will cover an area of 45 square feet.

From given question,

252 lb = 36 ft²             ..........(1)

The number of pound for an area of 1 square foot is calculated as follows:

x = 1 ft²                       .......(2)

The area and the amount of gravel are illustrations of proportions.

From (1) and (2) we get an equation,

⇒ x × 36 = 252 × 1

⇒ x = 252/36

⇒ x = 7 lb

We need to find the area that could be covered with 315 lb of gravel

The area to be covered with 315 lb gravel is calculated as follows:

315 lb = y               ............(3)

From (1) and (3) we get an equation,

⇒ y × 252 = 36 × 315

⇒ y = 45 ft²

Therefore, 7 lb will cover an area of 1 square foot, while 315 lb will cover an area of 45 square feet.

Three times a number minus another number is -3. The sum of the numbers is 11. Find the numbers
MatroZZZ [7]

The first equation is

3x-y=-3

The second equation is

x+y=11

If you sum the two equations you'll cancel y:

4x=8 \iff x=2

And since the sum must be 11, we have y=9.

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-5, 3) and has a center at (-2, 1)? Distance formula: vaa -02 (x - 1
natali 33 [55]

Given:

The center of the circle = (-2,1).

Circle passes through the point (-5,3).

To find:

The equation of the circle.

Solution:

Radius is the distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle. So, radius of the circle is the distance between the points (-2,1) and (-5,3).

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

r=\sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2+(3-1)^2}

r=\sqrt{(-5+2)^2+(2)^2}

r=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(2)^2}

On further simplification, we get

r=\sqrt{9+4}

r=\sqrt{13}

The standard form of a circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where, (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

Substitute h=-2, k=1 and r=\sqrt{13}.

(x-(-2))^2+(y-1)^2=(\sqrt{13})^2

(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=13

Therefore, the equation of the circle is (x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=13.
