What is the correct method of solving the equation x/3-6=9 for x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
AveGali [126]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: The value of x is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x/3-6=9 is a linear equation, where x/3 is the same as one-third of x.

Thus it is easily simplified as such:

x/3-6=9

Collect like terms

x/3 = 9 + 6

x/3 = 15

i.e (1/3) of X = 15

To get the value of x, cross multiply

x = 3 x 15

x = 45

Thus, the value of x is 45

Find the center of the circle whose equation is (x+15)2+(y-20)2=100
Sindrei [870]

Answer: (- 15, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the format (x – h)² + (y – k) = r², the center of the circle is at point (h, k).

          -> The negatives in the first equation, bolded and underlined, means we change the sign of positive to negative or negative to positive.

     (x <u>-</u> h)² + (y <u>-</u> k) = r²

     (x + 15)² + (y - 20)² = 100

     (x <u>-</u> 15)² + (y <u>+</u> 20)² = 100

     (x <u>- 15</u>)² + (y + <u>20</u>)² = 100

     (- 15, 20)

We can also see this with graphing. See attached.

      The center of the circle will be at point (- 15, 20).

I need help with this​
iogann1982 [59]
Answer:
A) y=1/3x+5
B) y=-2x+9
C) y=-3
D) y=2x+9
E) y=-10x+80
F) y=x-2

Explanation:
Use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=starting point (or where it crosses the y-axis

For slope, use rise over run.
To determine negative slope, read from left to right and see if it’s going up or down. If down it’s negative, if up then positive.

Also BE CAREFUL, on D, the y-axis is labeled differently. Take an extra look at it.
