General equation of a circle is

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where (a, b) is the center and r = radius. so here we have a = -4 and b = -6 and r^2 = 3^2 = 9

Therefore the equation of the required circle is

(x + 4)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 9

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)?

Pepsi [2]

X=4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)
(1.5)(x)+(1.5)(4)+ -3 =(4.5)(x)+(4.5)(-2)
(1.5x) + ( 6+-3) =4.5x - 9
(Combine like terms)
1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Step 2: Subtract 4.5x from both sides.
1.5x +3 -4.5x =4.5x=-9-4.5x-3x+3=-9

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3x+3-3=-9-3
-3x=12

Step 4: Divide both by -3
-3x/-3=-12/-3
X=4
