4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)

36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60

72 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x

-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 72

3x = - 30

x = -30/3

x = -10 <===

Hope this helps!

Which equation represents the circle described? (in picture)

Sedaia [141]

You are right. In circle equation we have =r² so the correct answer will be C od D. But we have to calculate the center of a circle.

$x^2+y^2-8x-6y+24=0\quad|-24\\\\(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24$

Complete the square:

$x^2-8x+a^2\implies a=\dfrac{8x}{2x}=4\implies x^2-8x+4^2\\\\\\y^2-6y+b^2\implies b=\dfrac{6y}{2y}=3\implies y^2-6y+3^2$

And we have:

$(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24\\\\(x^2-8x+4^2)-4^2+(y^2-6y+3^2)-3^2=-24\\\\
(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-16-9=-24\\\\(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-25=-24\quad|+25\\\\\boxed{(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2=1}$

So the answer is C (the same left side of equation).

To solve the equation w/8 - 4 = 20, you would first add 4 to each side and then divide each side by 8.

bearhunter [10]

False because, you DO add 4 to the sides but you would multiply the 8 because you to the opposite to cancel it out
