x-2y = -2

x-2(-3x+8)=-2

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(-3x)=6x

(-2)(8)=-16

x+6x-16=-2

7x-16=-2

move -16 to the other side

sign changes from -16 to +16

7x-16+16=-2+16

7x= -2+16

7x= 14

divide both sides by 7

7x/7=14/7

x=2

Find y by using the substitution method

y=-3x+8

y=-3(2)+8

-6+8

Find the radius of a circle using the Pythagorean theorem, given that the center is at (1, 5) and the point (5, 1) lies on the c

Assoli18 [71]

Given :

Center of circle, C = ( 1 , 5 )

Point on circle, P = ( 5 , 1 )

To Find :

The radius of a circle.

Solution :

We know, radius of circle is the distance between center and point of circle.

Distance between two points A(p,q) and B(r,s) is given by :

$D = \sqrt{(p-r)^2+(q-s)^2}$

So, distance between the points (1, 5) and (5, 1) is :

$D = \sqrt{(1-5)^2+(5-1)^2}\\\\D = 5.66 \ units$

Therefore, radius of circle is 5.66 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.

On a farm the number of cows and the number of sheep are in the tatio 6:5 the number of sheep and the number of pigs are in the

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

There are 70 sheep in the farm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let c represents the cows, s represents the sheep and p represents the pigs.

The number of cows and the number of sheep are in the ratio 6:5.

$\dfrac{c}{s} =\dfrac{6}{5}$

$c =\dfrac{6s}{5}$

The number of sheep and the number of pigs are in the ratio 2:1.

$\dfrac{s}{p} =\dfrac{2}{1}$

$p =\dfrac{s}{2}$

The total number is 189.

$c+s+p=189$

Substitute the value of c and p in above.

$\dfrac{6s}{5}+s+\dfrac{s}{2}=189$

$\dfrac{12s+10s+5s}{10}=189$

$27s=1890$

$s=70$

Hence, there are 70 sheep in the farm.
