Four-thirds times the sum of a number and 8 is 24. what is the number?
labwork [276]
So first you take the words and put them into an equation. "a number" that never gets directly told to you will always be a variable, which is easiest to make X. "The sum of a number and 8" will mean that 8+something is the sum so they have to go in parenthesis... giving you
 4/3*(x+8)=24
now just solve for X, remembering to use the reverse of PEMDAS, since you're solving for the variable.
remove what is furthest away to the X first.
x+8=24*3/4
x+8=18
x=18-8
x=10
Now, remember to always go through and replace your variable with its value and solve. if it is not equal on both sides, retry the problem because you may have missed a small +, -, or * somewhere!


Hope this helped:)

Tangent WZ and secant WV intersect at point W. Find the value of X. If necessary, round to the hundredths place.
alexira [117]
For the above figure, the formula is,

x² = WY (YV + WY)

WY = 5
YV = 12

Substituting in the above formula,

x² = 5 x (12 + 5)
x² = 5 x 17 = 85
x² = 85
⇒ x = √85 = 9.21954 = 9.220

given that the center of a circle is at point (-3,5) and that the radius of the circle is 6 units, write the the equation of the
Anika [276]
The equation of a cricle is 
(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}
h being the x coordinate of the given point and k being the y coordinate of the given point (r also being the radius). 

Now we have to plug the points into the equation 
(x--3)^{2} +(y-5)^{2} = 6^{2}
now just simplify the the equation
(x+3)^{2} +(y-5)^{2} = 36
