32 students choose a favorite topping for their slices.

Let x be the total number of students.

1/2 of the total students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the total students, or 1/4x, choose extra cheese.
1/8 of the total students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.

We know that together, these equal the total number of students, x:
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x

We will use 8 as the common denominator:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x


Combining like terms:
7/8x+4=x

Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x=x-7/8x
4=1x-7/8x
4=1/8x

Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1÷(1/8) = x
4/1×8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x

What are the center and radius f the circle with equation xthe power of 2 +y power of 2 -4x -6y +8=0
Dovator [93]
<span>x² +y² -4x -6y +8=0
(x² -4x) +(y² -6y) = -8
We are going to complete square for x and y,
it should look like a²+2ab+b² = (a +b)², or </span>a²-2ab+b² = (a -b)²,
<span>
(x²-2*2x+2²) -2² + (y²-2*3y +3²)-3²=- 8
(x-2)²+(y-3)²-4-9=-8
</span>(x-2)²+(y-3)²=-8+13
(x-2)²+(y-3)²=5
<span>
Formula a circle (x-h)²+(y-k)²=R², where vertex has coordinates (h, k) 

So , for our circle  vertex (2,3) and radius = </span>√5<span>

PLEASE HELP What is the radical form of the expression 423 ? 43−−√ 34−−√ 42−−√3 24−−√3
ira [324]

For this case we must express the number "423" in a radical way.

We have to, we can rewrite it as:

423 = 9 * 47 = 3 ^ 2 * 47

So, we have to:

423 = \sqrt {3 ^ 2 * 47}

By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So:

423 = \sqrt {3 ^ 2 * 47} = 3 \sqrt {47}

Answer:

3 \sqrt {47}
