Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.

Answer:

When solved for x, the runner-up ate 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave won by eating 18 hot dogs

He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up.

Suppose the runner-up ate x-hot dogs.

That means Dave ate two more than twice of x. This can be written as

Twice of x is 2x

And two more than twice of x is 2x + 2.

So, Dave ate (2x + 2) hot dogs.

Since we already know that Dave ate 18, we can say

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 16

x = 8

HELP! Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-3, -4) and passes through the origin.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Option B. (x+3) ^2+(y+4)^2=25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the circle in standard form is equal to

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where

(h,k) is the center and r is the radius

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

Remember that the distance of the center and any point on the circle is equal to the radius of the circle

so

Find the distance between the points (-3,-4) and (0,0)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

substitute

r=\sqrt{(0+4)^{2}+(0+3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{25}

r=5\ units

step 2

Find the equation of the circle

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

the center is the point (-3,-4) and the radius is r=5 units

substitute

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=5^{2}

(x+3)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=25
