Answer:
approximately 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
So you can use the distance formula: 
which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem because normally x2-x1 would kind of give the distance length between x2 and x1 except sometimes it would be negative which wouldn't make much sense right? but it doesn't matter because it's being squared so the value ultimately becomes positive, and the same thing goes for the y-value. the distance between x2 - x1 really represents the base and y2-y1 represents the height and then adding them together gives the hypotenuse squared which is why you take the square root over the entire thing to find the distance, since the hypotenuse is the shortest distance between two points
Now all you have to do is plug the values in to get
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Earth's distance from sun = 93 million miles
Number of years to complete an orbit = 1 year
Average orbiting distance of new asteroid = 1488 million miles
Number of years to complete an orbit = x
93,000,000 Miles = 1
1488000000 miles = x
Cross multiply :
93000000x = 1488000000
x = 1488000000 / 93000000
x = 16 years
Period taken to orbit the sun = 16 years
Answer:
-20 + 12y
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 10 - 6(5 - 2y)
Step 1:
10 - 30 + 12y Multiply (5 - 2y) by -6 (distributive property)
Step 2:
-20 + 12y Subtract 10 by 30 (10 - 30 = -20)
