Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$-3x+12= -18$

and asked to solve for x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

12 is being added to -3x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

$-3x+12-12= -18 -12$

$-3x= -18-12$

$-3x=-30$

x is being multiplied by -3. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -3.

$-3x/3=-30/-3$

$x= -30/-3$

$x=10$

Let's check our solution. Plug 10 in for x and solve.

$-3x+12=-18$

$-3(10)+12=-18$

Multiply -3 and 10.

$-30+12=-18$

Add 12 to -30.

$-18=-18$

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution -3x+12=-18 is x=10.

Y = −(x + 4)2 − 7 vertex

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The vertex (h,k) is (-4,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you are looking for the vertex $y=-4(x+4)^2-7$ .

The vertex form of a quadratic is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ where the vertex is (h,k) and a tells us if the parabola is open down (if a<0) or up (if a>0). a also tells us if it is stretched or compressed.

Anyways if you compare $y=-4(x+4)^2-7$ to $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ , you should see that $a=-4,h=-4,k=-7$ .

So the vertex (h,k) is (-4,-7).

In a circle, area and circumference can be found using the formulas A=(pi)r^2 and C=2(pi)r, respectively, Write a formula for A

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Area of a circle $A=\pi r^2$

Circumference of the circle $C = 2 \pi r$

Let us re-write the equation of area of circle:

$A=\pi r^2$

$A = \pi \times r \times r$

Multiplying and dividing with 2:

$A = \dfrac{2\pi r}{2} \times r\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times r\\\text{Multiplying and dividing by } 2\pi:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times \dfrac{2\pi r}{2\pi}\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C \times C}{4 \pi}\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C^2}{4 \pi}$

Hence, <em>A</em> in terms of <em>C</em> can be represented as:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$
