Answer: x = -9/ addition property of equality

Explanation: In this problem, we're given that x - 7 = -16 and we're asked to solve the equation and explain which equality we used.

The first statement we have will be

the given statement which is x - 7 = -16.

Now, we just solve the equation.

Our first and only step will be to add 7 to both sides.

Then, we find that x = -9.

The property we used here was the addition property of equality.

This property tells us that we can add the same quantity,

or equal quantities, to both sides of an equation.

Using the following equation, find the center and radius of the circle: x^2 + y^2 +2x − 4y − 20 = 0

You have to complete the squares on both the x terms and the y terms in order to solve this. Move the 20 over to the other side so it's negative. Group the x terms together and complete the square to get (x^2+2x+1) and then do the same with the y terms: (y^2-4y+4). You have to add 1 and 4 to other side with the 20 to get a 25. Then create 2 perfect square binomials within each x and y value to get the vertex coordinates: (x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 25. This tells us that the vertex is located at (-1, 2) and the radius is the square root of 25 which is 5.So the answer is the first choice above.
