How do you solve for x in the equation 4x-2(x-2)=-9+5x-8

1 answer:

5 0

first distribute the 2 into (x-2) so that the new equation is 4x-2x+4=9+5x-8 Afterwards add up common factors and get the x to one side 2x+4=1+5x (subtract 2x from both sides) 4=1+3x (subtract 1 from both sides) 3=3x (divide by 3 on both sides) 1=x

Hope this helped!!

Finding area of shaded sectors.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

69.81 sq. m. (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sector of a circle is "part" or "portion" of a circle. The formula for the area of a sector is:

$A=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2$

Where

$\theta$ is the central angle

r is the radius

Given the figure, the arc is given as 80 degrees, but not the central angle of the shaded sector. But from geometry we know that the central angle and the intercepted arc have the same measure. So we can say:

$\theta = 80$

Also, the radius of the circle shown is 10 meters, so

r = 10

Now, we substitute in formula and find our answer:

$A=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2\\A=\frac{80}{360}*\pi (10)^2\\A=\frac{2}{9}*100\pi\\A=\frac{200\pi}{9}\\A=69.81$

Thus,

The area of the shaded sector is 69.81 sq. meters.
