The radius is 6
Complete the square on the equation and get
(x-6)^2 + (y-6)^2 =36
The circle equation is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Center(h,k) r=radius
The smallest is 6
Three consecutive integers
X. Smallest 6
X+1. 7
X+2. Largest 8
X(X+1)= 4(X+2)+10
X^2+X= 4x+8+10
X^2+X-4x-18=0
X^2-3x-18=0
( X+3)(X-6)
X=-3. X=6

Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
