I'm just going to number all of the problems so life get's easier. :D

JSYK: A negative and a negative multiplied make a positive. Like that... a + and a + is +. And a + and a - is a - .

1) 37= -3+5(k+6)

1. Use Distributive Property to take out the parentheses. Positive 5 times k and then 5 times 6... 37=-3+5k+30. 2. Take all the normal number to either side of the equal sign. 37-3-30=5k 3. Subtract all the numbers on the left side.... 4=5k 4. Now divide both sides by 5 to isolate k.... k=[tex] \frac{4}{5} [/text] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) -2= -(w-8)

1. Use Distributive Property to take out the parentheses. "Distribute the negative sign... -2= -w+8 2. Put the -w to the left side and the -2 to the right side, so that the variable won't be negative... w= 2+8 3. Add everything on the right side... w= 10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) 42= 8x+13x

1. Since both of the numbers have the same variables (in this case, x), add them up... 42=21x 2. Divide each side by 21 to isolate x... x=42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) 8= 8c-4(c+8)

1. Use Distributive Property. Multiply negative 4 with c and 8... 8=8c-4c-32 2. On the right side, 8 and 4 both have the same variable, c , solve it!...8=4c-32 3. Put -32 to the left side... 8+32=4c 4. Add on the left... 40=4c 5. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate c... c=10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) -11-5z= 6(5z+4) 1. Use Distributive Property; multiply positive 6 with 5z and 4... -11-5z=30z+24 2. Bring -5z to the right and positive 24 to the left... -11-24= 30z+5z 3. Subtract the integers on the left and add the numbers with same variable on the right... -35=35z 4. Divide both sides by 35 to isolate z... z= -1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) 0= -5y-2y

1. Subtract the negative number with the same variable, y ... 0= -7y 2. Divide both sides by -7, to isolate y... y=0

And for the last two, I don't know either... my apologies! I hope my answers help! :D

The difference of two numbers is 90 and their quotient is 10

bija089 [108]

To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) Difference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90

2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10

Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b

2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10

3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100

Two concentric circles with different radii share how many common tangent lines?

Dominik [7]

The answer is a.0

Concentric means these circles would have the same center, thus, the smaller circle must be inside the bigger circle. Any tangent line to the smaller circle wont be a tangent line to the bigger circle, since that tangent line would intersect at the bigger circle at 2 points. Any tangent line to the big circle will not touch the small circle... so the answer would be 0.
