17x(1-2y)

17x-34xy

because both expressions have a x, it would be easier to factor out the x first. but because 17 is a factor of 34 you can simply divide 34 by 17 and get 2. so you put it together to this,

17x(1-2y)

Because, 17x times 1 is 17x but 17x times -2y would be -32xy.

Answer:

17x(1-2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) so "x" is common in this expression so lets take that out first:

x(17-34y)

2) but 17 is also common since 17*2=34 so lets take "17" out:

17x(1-2y)

The circle C has centre A(2,1) and passes through the point B(10,7). Find and equation for C

Semmy [17]

The equation of a circle:
$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
(h,k) - the coordinates of the centre
r - the radius

$A(2,1) - \hbox{the centre} \\
h=2 \\ k=1 \\ \\
(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=r^2 \\ \\
\hbox{passes through B(10,7)} \\
x=10 \\
y=7 \\ \\
(10-2)^2+(7-1)^2=r^2 \\
8^2+6^2=r^2 \\
64+36=r^2 \\
r^2=100 \\ \\
\hbox{the equation:} \\ \boxed{(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=100}$

Problem number eight

wariber [46]

Hello there! The answer is C. 7/9.

The question is asking you how to find the absolute value of -7/9. Absolute value is the value of the number, regardless if it is negative or positive. So, that makes C your answer.

I hope this was helpful in finding an answer to your question, have a great day! :)
