You want to try and get rid of one of the variables ( x or y) so you would multiply the second equation by 2 which would make the x variable -2x which then when added to the first equation would eliminate the x variable.

Homer wants to identify the center and radius of the circle defined by the equation...

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Step 2, he didn't add the values he completed the square with to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides, not just one.

So when Homer added 49 + 1 or 50 to the left side of the equation, he should've also added 50 to the right side of the equation.

Hence, the equation would now be :

(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75

Given: 8x-61=17, prove: 39/4

Degger [83]

Answer:

The solution is $x = \frac{39}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

8x - 61 = 17

We want to find the solution, that is, the value of x. So

$8x - 61 = 17$

$8x = 78$

$x = \frac{78}{8}$

Simplifying by 2

$x = \frac{39}{4}$

The solution is $x = \frac{39}{4}$
