8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand

8x - 5x + 5 = 20

2. Simplify

3x + 5 = 20

3. Subtract 5 from both sides

3x = 20 - 5

4. Simplify

3x = 15

5. Divide both sides by 3

x = 15/3

6. Simplify

x = 5

What is the length of the radius of a circle with a center at 2 + 3i and a point on the circle at 7 + 2i?

dem82 [27]

You can calculate the difference/vector of both points:
$7+2i-(2+3i)=5-i$
then calculate the magnitude/length like pythagoras
$radius=\sqrt{5^2+(-i*-i)}\\=\sqrt{5^2+i^2}\\=\sqrt{5^2-1}\\=\sqrt{24}\\=\sqrt{4*6}\\=2*\sqrt{6}$

#8 you do 360= 112+136+x... then you solve for x. X=112. Now you divide this by two since it is an inscribed angle. For #9 I have this very simplified work in the picture. Sorry I did not do #10

2) A gym charges a $30 membership fee and $10 per month. Write an

kari74 [83]

C = 10m + 30, where C is total cost and m is # of months

C = 10(5) + 30

C = 50 + 30

C = $80

$160 = 10m + 30

160 - 30 = 10m

130/10 = m

m = 13 months

Hope that helps
