Can someone help me solve this equation -5(3x-4)+4=114

Using distributive property you would do what it is in the parentheses first. So -5(3x-4) would be -15x+20. It would be a positive 20 because you multiplied a negative with another negative. Youre equation now would be -15x+20+4=114.
Using like terms you would simplify 20 and 4 to get -15x+24=114. To get variable x alone you would subtract 24 to both sides of the equal sign to get -15x=90. Now you would just divide -15 to both sides to get x alone. So you would now get x=(-)18.2

-15x divided by 90 is 6, not 18.2. So your answer is -6

The equation of a circle is x2+y2+8x−14y+56=0 . What is the radius of the circle?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: $r=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle in center-radius form is:

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

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

Subtract 56 from both sides of the equation:

$x^2+y^2+8x-14y+56-56=0-56\\x^2+y^2+8x-14y=-56$

Make two groups for variable "x" and variable "y":

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

Complete the square:

Add $(\frac{8}{2})^2=4^2$ inside the parentheses of "x".

Add $(\frac{14}{2})^2=7^2$ inside the parentheses of "y".

Add $4^2$ and $7^2$ to the right side of the equation.

Then:

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

Rewriting, you get that the equation of the circle in center-radius form is:

$(x+4)^2+(y-7)^2=3^2$

You can observe that the radius of the circle is:

$r=3$

29×5.5=159.5 slide the decimal 2 places to the left, so you get 1.595. That rounds up to $1.60. So $29.00+$1.60=$30.60
