So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 75$ obviously. Secondly 55$ for the next 10 boxes.

So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 130$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 18$ so we can buy 18/4.5 = 4 only 4 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 24 boxes.

What is the equation of a circle with center of (4,2) passing through the point (7,2)
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 3^2

or

(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9 (simplified if needed)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Equation of a circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r^2.

-Place the center and the point onto that equation:

(7-4)^2+(2-2)^2=r^2

-Then, you solve:

(7-4)^2+(2-2)^2=r^2

(3)^2+(0)^2=r^2

9 +0=r^2

9=r^2

\sqrt{9} =\sqrt{r^2}

3=r

-So, the result is:

(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=3^2

or

(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=9 (simplified if needed)

Simplify to create an equivalent expression. 8−4(−x+5)
White raven [17]
8 - 4(-x + 5)

As you already know, in order to find the equivalent expression to our already given one, we have to simplify it first :)

8 +4x - 20

**Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive!!**

Add like terms.

4x + (8 - 20)

Simplify.

4x + (-12)

Get rid of parenthesis.

4x - 12

Look at our answer choices.

Our answer is a. 4x - 12

~Hope I helped!~

Why is it not a system of linear equations?
denis23 [38]
This is only one equation. It is therefore not a system and you can not solve for two different variables y and z unless you have another equation to solve with. It.
