Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation 7.2x = 14.4, to find x, we first want to isolate the variable.

It would be a little easier if there were no decimals so:

7.2x = 14.4

We could multiply both sides by 10 to get rid of the decimals

7.2x * 10 = 14.4 * 10

72x = 144

We then can divide both sides by 72

72x/72 = 144/72

x = 2

The diameter of a circle has length 12. The center is at*(-5, 2). Give the equation

labwork [276]

Answer:

Equation of the circle is : $x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} -4y -7 =0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the image attached in the answer area.

The center O has the co-ordinates i.e. (-5,2) and the diameter given is 12 units.

We know that radius is half of diameter.

$\text{Radius = }\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2}$

$\text{Radius = }\dfrac{12}{2}\\\Rightarrow \text{Radius = 6units}$

The equation for circle given the center and radius, can be represented as:

$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where (a,b) is the co-ordinate of center and r is the radius.

Let us consider the following formula:

$(p+q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} +2pq\\(p-q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} -2pq$

$(x-(-5))^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 6^{2}\\\Rightarrow (x+5)^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 25 + 10x +y^{2} + 4-4y=36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 10x +y^{2} -4y-7=0$

Hence, Equation of the circle is : $x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} -4y -7 =0$

elena-s [515]

Answer: 2000/25 = 80 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Date: s=20

equation of surface area of a cube prism: surface area = 6s*2

the surface area to be covered with tiles is requires, the base is not included, so the equation reduces: surface area = 5s*2

subtitute values: surface area = 5(20)*2

= 5(400)

surface area = 2000

area of 2 tile is 5*2 = 25 square inches

2000/25 = 80 tiles
