−<span>2.8
</span>Okay so "0.9x-1.3=-3.1" x=-2
 
<span><span><span>0.9x</span>−1.3</span>=<span>−3.1

</span></span>add 1.3 to both sides

<span><span><span><span>0.9x</span>−1.3</span>+1.3</span>=<span><span>−3.1</span>+1.3

</span></span><span><span>0.9x</span>=<span>−1.8

</span></span>divide both sides by 0.9

<span><span><span>0.9x/</span>0.9</span>=<span><span>−1.8/</span><span>0.9

</span></span></span>x=<span>−2</span>

So if you plug in -2 into "x-0.8" you get −2.8

<span>=<span><span>−2</span>−0.8

</span></span><span>=<span><span>−2-</span><span>0.8

</span></span></span><span>=<span>−2.8

</span></span>Hope this helps.

You can mow 800 square feet of lawn in 15 minutes at this rate how many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn that measures 600
Natalija [7]
If you would like to know how many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn that measures 6000 square feet, you can calculate this using the following steps:

800 square feet ... 15 minutes
6000 square feet ... M minutes = ? 

800 * M = 15 * 6000
M = 15 * 6000 / 800
M = 112.5 minutes

This will take 112.5 minutes.

Find the equation of a circle with a center at (7,2) and a point on the circle at (2,5)?
monitta

Answer:

(x-7)^2+(y-2)^2=34

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a circle with a center at (7, 2) and a point on the circle at (2, 5).

First, recall that the equation of a circle is given by:

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

Where (<em>h, k</em>) is the center and <em>r</em> is the radius.

Since our center is at (7, 2), <em>h</em> = 7 and <em>k</em> = 2. Substitute:

(x-7)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2

Next, the since a point on the circle is (2, 5), <em>y</em> = 5 when <em>x</em> = 2. Substitute:

(2-7)^2+(5-2)^2=r^2

Solve for <em>r: </em>

<em />(-5)^2+(3)^2=r^2<em />

Simplify. Thus:

25+9=r^2

Finally, add:

r^2=34

We don't need to take the square root of both sides, as we will have the square it again anyways.

Therefore, our equation is:

(x-7)^2+(y-2)^2=34

Pam and her sister have a pattern of saving money. Pam saved 40 dollars and her brother saved 100 dollars.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam saved 40

her bro saves 100

let us take this as ration 40 is to 100 which can also be written in fractional for like 40/100 now we simplify it how by dividing both by 20 so (40/20)/(100/20) which will give 2/5 which can be written as 2 is to 5 so this is true

A boat starts from a port and moves 12 miles north and then moves 5 miles east. what is the present distance of the boat from th
disa [49]
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
