Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-x=2-3x+6\qquad\text{add}\ 3x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\-x+3x=8-3x+3x\\\\2x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\x=4$

Solve this equation. (3x+10)−(2x−9)=43

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: X = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms to the left:

(3x + 10) - (2x - 9) - 43 = 0

Get rid of all the parenthesis:

3x + 10 - 2x - 9 - 43 = 0

Add all the numbers and all variable:

x-24 = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right:

x = 24

Write the equation -4x^2+9y^2+32x+36y-64=0 in standard form. Please show me each step of the process!

IgorC [24]

Hey there, hope I can help!

$-4x^2+9y^2+32x+36y-64=0$

$\mathrm{Add\:}64\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 9y^2+32x+36y-4x^2=64$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms} \ \textgreater \ -4\left(x^2-8x\right)+9\left(y^2+4y\right)=64$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}4$
$-\left(x^2-8x\right)+\frac{9}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=16$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}9$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x^2-8x\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:x\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x^2-8x+16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:y\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y+4\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y+2\right)^2=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Refine\:}\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right) \ \textgreater \ -\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y+2\right)^2=1$

$Refine\;once\;more\;-\frac{\left(x-4\right)^2}{9}+\frac{\left(y+2\right)^2}{4}=1$

For me I used
$\frac{\left(y-k\right)^2}{a^2}-\frac{\left(x-h\right)^2}{b^2}= 1$
$As\;\mathrm{it\;\:is\:the\:standard\:equation\:for\:an\:up-down\:facing\:hyperbola}$

I know yours is an equation which is why I did not go any further because this is the standard form you are looking for. I would rewrite mine to get my hyperbola standard form. However the one I have provided is the form you need where mine would be.
$\frac{\left(y-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}{2^2}-\frac{\left(x-4\right)^2}{3^2}=1$

Hope this helps!
