Answer:

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables):

14 = -2C - 3C - 6

14 = (-2C - 3C) - 6

14 = (-5C) - 6

Isolate the variable, C. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents & Roots

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

First, add 6 to both sides:

14 (+6) = -5C - 6 (+6)

14 + 6 = -5C

-5C = 20

Next, divide -5 from both sides:

(-5C)/-5 = (20)/-5

C = 20/-5

C = -4

-4 is your value for C.

Answer:

-4 =C

Step-by-step explanation:

14 = -2C - 6 – 3C

Combine like terms

14 = -5C - 6

Add 6 to each side

14+6 = -5C -6+6

20 = -5C

Divide each side by -5

20/-5 = -5C/-5

-4 =C

Find the equation of the sphere centered at (2,−9,1) with radius 2. 4 = (x-2)+(y+9)+(z-1). Give an equation which describes the

Monica [59]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the shpere canterd at point $(a,b,c)$ with radius $R$ is

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2+(z-c)^2=R^2$

The center of the sphere is (2,-9,1), the radius is 2, then the equation is

$(x-2)^2+(y+9)^2+(z-1)^2=2^2\\ \\(x-2)^2+(y+9)^2+(z-1)^2=4$

Now, find the intersection of this sphere with the plane z=2. Substitute 2 instead of z into the sphere equation:

$(x-2)^2 +(y+9)^2+(2-1)^2=4\\ \\(x-2)^2+(y+9)^2+1=4\\ \\(x-2)^2+(y+9)^2=3$

This is the equation of the circle lying in the plane z=2 with center at (2,-9,2) and radius $\sqrt{3}.$
