Hi!

<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>

5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9

<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>

<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>

5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5

<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>

<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>

5x/5 = 4/5

x = 0.8

Hope this helps! :)

Find the center and the radius of the circle with the equation .
Simora [160]

We have been given an equation of circle x^2+2x+y^2-2y-14=0. We are asked to find the center and radius of the circle.

First of all, we will write equation of circle is standard form (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where center of circle is at point (h,k) and radius is r.

Let us complete the square for both x and y.

x^2+2x+y^2-2y-14+14=0+14

x^2+2x+y^2-2y=14

Adding half the square of coefficient of x and y term, we will get:

(\frac{2}{2})^2=1^2=1

(\frac{-2}{2})^2=(-1)^2=1

x^2+2x+1+y^2-2y+1=14+1+1

(x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=16

(x-(-1))^2+(y-1)^2=4^2

Therefore, the center of the circle is (-1,1) and radius is 4 units.
