Tip: Go step-by-step
Let the number = x
Eight times the difference between a number and seven.. = 8(x-7)
is the same as... =
the number increased by 4.. x+4
8(x-7)=x+4
Distribute
8x-56=x+4
Subtract x from both sides
7x-56=4
Add 56 to both sides
7x=60
x=60/7
Answer: 1.58 hours
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Answer: 72
72/8 will get you 9. To see if the answer is correct Multiply 9*8.
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + y² − 8x + 10y − 8 = 0
Rearrange:
x² − 8x + y² + 10y = 8
To complete the square, take half of the x and y coefficients, square it, then add the result to both sides.
(-8/2)² = 16
(10/2)² = 25
x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 8 + 16 + 25
x² − 8x + 16 + y² + 10y + 25 = 49
Factor the squares:
(x − 4)² + (y + 5)² = 49
The center is (4, -5) and the radius is 7.
