Answer:

x= 3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the distributive property and multiply 3 by x and 3 by 2:

3x + 6

next use the distributive property again and multiply 4 by x and -5:

4x - 20

Combine Like terms: 3x + 6 + 4x - 20

3x + 4x = 7x

6 - 20 = -14

Now Add 14 to both sides: 7x - 14 = 10

10 + 14 = 24

Now divide 7 by both sides: 7x = 24

24 / 7 = 3.428571429 = 3.43

Answer:

x=24/7 or 3 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10   parenthesis first

3x+6+4x-20=10

7x-14=10               addition on both sides

7x-14+14=10+14

7x=24

x=24/7

check the answer:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10

3(24/7+2)+4(24/7-5)=10

72/7+6+96/7-20=10

168/7-14=10

24-14=10

10=10 correct

Which best represents the equation of this circle ?
likoan [24]

The equation of a circle:

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

(h, k) - center

r - radius

Look at the picture:

center: (4, -2) → h = 4, k = -2

radius: r= 5

Substitute:

(x-4)^2+(y-(-2))^2=5^2\\\\(x-4)^2+(y+2)^2=25\to\boxed{B.}

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answ
Nata [24]

Answer: 5x-3y=44

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :_

(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)

Standard form of equation of line = Ax+By=C

Given points =  (7, -3) and (4, -8)

Then, the equation of a line that passes through the points . (7, -3) and (4, -8) is given by -

(y-(-3))=\dfrac{-8-(-3)}{4-7}(x-7)

(y+3)=\dfrac{-8+3}{-3}(x-7)   [∵ (-)(-)=(+)]

(y+3)=\dfrac{-5}{-3}(x-7)

(y+3)=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-7)

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

3y+9=5x-35

9+35=5x-3y

44=5x-3y

Or 5x-3y=44

Hence, the required equation :-5x-3y=44
