<span><u>3(x - 8) - 5 = 9(x + 2) + 1</u></span>

First, you have to get rid of the parentheses:

3(x - 8) is the same as 3x - 24, so the left side is 3x - 29 .

9(x + 2) is the same as 9x + 18, so the right side is 9x + 19 .

Now, the equation is:    3x - 29 = 9x + 19

Subtract 19 from each side:    3x - 48 = 9x

Subtract 3x from each side:        - 48 = 6x

Divide each side by 6 :               <u> - 8 = x </u>

(I guess the answer is <em>not</em> 7.166 after all.)

Write an expression that represents the area of a circle with radius 3x^3. (For any circle with radius r, a=π r^2 = π .r .r ^.)
aalyn [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B. 9πx^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the given radius into the area formula gives ...

  A = πr^2

  A = π(3x^3)^2 = π(3^2)(x^(3·2))

  A = 9πx^6

Find parametric equations through point P=(2,2,7) in the direction of the vector v = (44, 14, -20)?
ycow [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (2+44t, 2+14t, 7-20t)

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to write parametric equations for line L is ...

  L = P + t·<em>v</em>

where P is the given point and <em>v</em> is the given direction vector. Using that form, we have ...

  (x, y, z) = (2+44t, 2+14t, 7-20t)

__

If you like, you can remove a common factor of 2 from the coefficients of t.

  (x, y, z) = (2+22t, 2+7t, 7-10t)
