1. move 78.2 over to the over side. This will give you 287-78.2.

2. when you have .5x = 208.8, divide both sides by .5

3. this should give you x= 417.6

4. make sure to check your work by plugging you answer back into x.

x*78.2+0.5=287

x*78.2*10+0.5*10=287*10

782+5=2870

782x+5-5=2865

782x=2865

782x/782=2865/782

2865/782

What is the radius of a circle whose equation is X^2 plus Y^2 -10X +6 X +18=0?

frosja888 [35]

ANSWER

The radius is 4

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10y + 6x + 18 = 0$

We complete the square to get the expression in standard form:

${x}^{2} + 6x + {y}^{2} - 10y + 18 = 0$

${x}^{2} + 6x + 9 + {y}^{2} - 10y + 25 = - 18 + 9 + 25$

We factor using perfect squares to get:

${(x + 3)}^{2} + {(y - 5)}^{2} = 16$

This implies that,

${(x + 3)}^{2} + {(y - 5)}^{2} = {4}^{2}$

Comparing to

${(x - h)}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

The radius is r=4

Please show the work/explain. I need to write it down.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

20 months
$5500

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to work a problem like this. You have probably been taught to write equations for each of the payment amounts as a function of time, then equate those values to solve for the time that makes them equal.

at dealer 1, the total amount paid (y) will be a function of months (x):

y = 2500 +150x

at dealer 2, the corresponding equation is ...

y = 3000 +125x

These are equal when ...

y = y

2500 +150x = 3000 +125x

25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . subtract 125x +2500 from both sides

x = 500/25 = 20

The total paid will be the same after 20 months.

That amount is ...

y = 2500 +150(20) = 5500

$5500 will be paid to either dealer after 20 months.

The other way to work the problem is to "cut to the chase". The difference in down payment is made up at the rate of difference in monthly payments. So The number of monthly payments (x) required to equal the difference in down payments is ...

25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . you may recognize this equation from above

x = 500/25 = 20
