Answer:

x = -60

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4(2x+3) = 0.9(3x-2)

(1.4)(2x) + (1.4)(3) = 0.9(3x) - 0.9(2)

2.8x + 4.2 = 2.7x - 1.8

2.8x - 2.7x = -1.8 -4.2

0.1x = -6

x = -60

Answer:

x = - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4(2x+3) = 0.9(3x-2) Remove the brackets

2.8x + 4.2 = 2.7x - 1.8 Subtract 4.2 from both sides

2.8x +4.2-4.2 = 2.7x - 1.8- 4.2

2.8x = 2.7x - 6 Subtract 2.7x from both sides

2.8x-2.7x = - 6

0.1x = - 6 Divide by 0.1

0.1x/0.1 = - 6/0.1

x = - 60

We are given with a circle and we need to find the equation of the circle , but first let's recall that , the equation of a circle with radius 'r' and centre at (h,k) is given by ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$

Now , here as as the circle cuts the +ve x-axis at (9,0) . So , it's radius is 9 units or the 2nd way is to measure the distance from centre of the circle to the point where the circle cuts the graph , as the centre is at Origin , so here (h,k) = (0,0) .Which means that the centre is located at the point whose coordinates are (0,0) which is also known as origin . Now , finding the equation of the circle :-
