Answer:

Explanation - instead of adding 28 to each side to get rid of the -28, the student subtracted 28 from each side

Correct Answer - x = 403

Step-by-step explanation:

The student subtracted 28 from each side instead of adding 28 to each side. When you add 28 to each side, you are adding 28 to -28, which makes it 0 and disappear. When you subtract 28 from each side, you are adding -28 to -28, which makes it -54, and not 0.

The correct answer can be found by adding 28 to each side, which gives us an answer of x = 403.

Hope this helps!! :)

use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points. (0, -2) and (9, 10) give the exact length (leave in radica

kkurt [141]

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 10)

d = $\sqrt{(9-0)^2+(10+2)^2}$

= $\sqrt{9^2+12^2}$

= $\sqrt{81+144}$

= $\sqrt{225}$

= 15

HELP PLEASE. A pizza shop charges customers based on the area of the pizza they order. The cost of a pizza in dollars can be rep

san4es73 [151]

For this case we have that the cost of each pizza is given by the following function:

$S (r) = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2$

Where:

r: It's the radius of the pizza

IF a pizza cost $26.32 we have:

$26.32 = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2$

We cleared the radius, using $\pi = 3.14$ :

$\frac {26.32} {0.1} = \pi * r ^ 2\\263.2 = 3.14r ^ 2\\\frac {263.2} {3.14} = r ^ 2\\83.82 = r ^ 2\\r = \pm \sqrt {83.82}$

We choose the positive value:

$r = 9.15$

So, the radius of the pizza is $9.16 \ in$

Then, the diameter is: $2r = 2 * 9.15 = 18.30 \ in$

Finally, the diameter of the pizza is: $18.30 \ in$

Option B
