Hello!

no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.

here's the correct way:

add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6

then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (0, – 10) and radius 6.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Equation of circle in standard form with centre (0, – 10) and radius 6. $\mathbf{x^2+(y+10)^2=36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation of circle in standard form with centre (0, – 10) and radius 6.

The equation of circle is: $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

where (h,k) is centre of circle and r is radius

We are given centre (0,-10) so, h=0, k=-10 and radius r = 6

Putting values and finding equation:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\(x-0)^2+(y-(-10))^2=(6)^2\\x^2+(y+10)^2=36$

So, equation of circle in standard form with centre (0, – 10) and radius 6. $\mathbf{x^2+(y+10)^2=36}$

Find the measure of angle X.

densk [106]

Answer:

x = 23 degrees

Because if you look at diagram x is vertical to angle FBC, and angle FEC and angle EBA are alternate interior angles so they are equal to each other, and AC is a straight line which means it equals to 180 degrees.

$4x+65+x = 180$

x = 23 degrees
