Is the point (8, -3) a solution to the linear equation 2x + 3y = 12
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

No, (8, -3) is not a solution.

A wheel of radius 1.9 feet is moving forward at 12 feet per second. How fast is the wheel turning?
SOVA2 [1]
Find the circumference to see how much of the wheel is touhing the ground

c=2pir
c=2pi1.9
c=2.8pi

2.8pi=distance per 1 rotation
number of rotations per second times 2.8pi=12feet per second
dvide both sides by 2.8pi
number of rorations per second=12/2.8pi
number of roations per second=6/1.4pi
number of roations per second=3/0.7pi
number of roations per second=30/7pi
aprox
number of roations per second=1.364 rotations per second

(4x + 2y + 6) + (7x + 3y - 4) + (x - 2y + 1)
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

12x+3y+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

4x+2y+6+7x+3y−4+x−2y+1

=4x+2y+6+7x+3y+−4+x+−2y+1

Combine Like Terms:

=4x+2y+6+7x+3y+−4+x+−2y+1

=(4x+7x+x)+(2y+3y+−2y)+(6+−4+1)

=12x+3y+3
