I asked how to solve xm- 2m if x=-2 and m=-3 and I got two different answers one was 0 and one was 12... HELP!!!

Plug in -2 where the x is and -3 where the m's are
xm becomes -2*-3 which equals 6 and 2m becomes 2*-3 which equals -6
now we have the equation 6-(-6) which we could turn into 6+6
so the answer is 12, the person who said 0 made a mistake.
when subtracting a negative from a positive, you will always get a positive<span />

Xm-2m
(-2)(-3)-2(-3)
12

The equation can be simplified to 12. I'm not sure how you got 0, but at a guess, you messed up your signs when multiplying. Hope this helps!

Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions. (Give your answer in terms of x and y.) Center at the origin

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The equation of circle is $x^2+y^2=65$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the circle passes through the point (8,1) and center at the origin.

The distance between any point and the circle and center is called radius. it means radius of the given circle is the distance between (0,0) and (8,1).

Distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using distance formula the radius of circle is

$r=\sqrt{\left(8-0\right)^2+\left(1-0\right)^2}=\sqrt{65}$

The standard form of a circle is

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ .... (1)

where, (h,k) is center and r is radius.

The center of the circle is (0,0). So h=0 and k=0.

Substitute h=0, k=0 and $r=\sqrt{65}$ in equation (1).

$(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=(\sqrt{65})^2$

$x^2+y^2=65$

Therefore the equation of circle is $x^2+y^2=65$ .

A rectangle has a length that is 4 meters more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 117 square meters. Find the dimensio

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Its the first choice. Width:9 Length:13

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 4 meter more than the width than that means whatever the width is you must add 4 to it, in this case the width is 9 so add 4 to it which equals 13. If the length matches your answer it is the correct choice.
