Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Sum means to add. Let's call our number n.

n+15

We multiply this whole thing by 6.

6(n+15)

And this is -42.

6(n+15)=-42

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

6n+90=-42

We subtract 90 from both sides.

6n=-132

We divide both sides by 6.

n=-22.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The equation of a circle is ( x - 3) 2 + ( y + 2) 2 = 25. The point (8, -2) is on the circle.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

x =8 is the equation of the tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the equation of the given circle is: $(x-3)^{2} + (y+2)^{2} = 25$

Now, comparing it with the general equation of circle: $(x-h)^{2} + (y -k)^{2} = r^2$

we get the central coordinates (h,k) = (3,-2)

So, the slope of the line joining center and (8, -2) = $\frac{-2 -(-2)}{8-3} = \frac{0}{5} = 0$

Since the slope of line = 0, line is parallel to x axis.

Now, as tangent and the line is perpendicular to each other

⇒Slope of the tangent = -1/ slope of the line = $\frac{-1}{0}$

Now, by point slope formula: the equation of the tangent is

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

or, $(y +2) = \frac{-1}{0} (x -8)$

or x =8 is the equation of the tangent.
