We need to find the center and the radius of
The general circle equation is the following
where
(h,k) is the center and
r is the radius
1. rearrange the equation
2. Add 25 on both sides
3. Factor
Now we have an equation that is very similar to the circle equation, so let's compare them
Center -> (h,k) = (5,-11)
radius -> r = 5
Answer:
First mechanic worked 20 hours and second mechanic worked 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours the first mechanic worked =
Let the number of hours the second mechanic worked =
Therefore, we can write 2 equations and then solve them simultaneously:
Rearranging the first equation:
and substituting into the second equation to find :
Now sub into the first equation to find
Therefore, first mechanic (a) worked 20 hours and second mechanic (b) worked 5 hours
