Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}(4x+6)+3x=7x+9$

$\frac{1}{2}(4x+8)+3x=7x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

By putting the numbers in the given equation,

$\frac{1}{2}(4x+6)+3x=7x+9$

2x + 3 + 3x = 7x + 9

5x + 3 = 7x + 9

(5x + 3) - 7x = (7x + 9) - 7x

(5x - 7x) + 3 = 9

-2x + 3 = 9

(-2x + 3) - 3 = 9 - 3

-2x = 6

$-\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}$

-x = 3

x = -3

Therefore, our equation is correct which has a negative result.

In place of 6 if we use 8, value of x will be negative again.

The points J (-13,10) and K(-1,-6) are endpoints of a diameter of circle G. What is the equation of circle G?

The correct answer is D

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

to find (h,k), you find the middle of the circle, in this scenario you do so by finding the middle of the diameter, a line that goes through the center of the circle.

To find the X value of the midpoint, add both x values together and divide by 2 and repeat for y

-13 + -1 = -14
-14/2 =-7

10+ -6 = 4
4/2 = 2

therefore (h,k) = ( -7, 2 )

Next plug these values in the equation of a circle

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

becomes

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

to find r, use the distance formula to find the length of the diameter, 20, and divide by 2

plug 10 in for r and you get 100

(x+7)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 100
