Answer:

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Kelly's portion = x

Greg's portion = 2x

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

Total bill = $114.00

Total bill = Kelly's portion + Greg's portion + Joe's portion

114 = x + 2x + (4x - 1.50)

114 = 3x + 4x - 1.50

114 = 7x - 1.50

Add 1.50 to both sides

114 + 1.50 = 7x - 1.50 + 1.50

115.5 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

x = 115.5 / 7

= 16.5

x = $16.5

Kelly's portion = x

x = $16.5

Greg's portion = 2x

= 2 × 16.5

= $33

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

= 4(16.5) - 1.50

= 66 - 1.50

= $64.5

Therefore,

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

What is the equation for a circle with a center at (-2,-4) that passes through the point (3,8)?
Margarita [4]
Check the picture below.

so, the center of the circle is the midpoint of that diametrical segment, and half that length is the radius.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)&#10;\end{array}\qquad&#10;%   coordinates of midpoint &#10;\left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\left( \cfrac{3-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{8-4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \frac{1}{2}~,~2 \right)\impliedby center

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)&#10;\end{array}~~~ &#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{[3-(-2)]^2+[8-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(8+4)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{25+144}\implies d=\sqrt{169}\implies d=13\qquad\qquad \qquad  \stackrel{radius}{\frac{13}{2}}

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ &#10;(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2&#10;\qquad &#10;center~~(\stackrel{\frac{1}{2}}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k})\qquad \qquad &#10;radius=\stackrel{\frac{13}{2}}{ r}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\left( \frac{13}{2} \right)^2\implies \left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\frac{169}{4}

Answer:

  1. y= -12
  2. x = 7
  3. q = -1
  4. x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1. ..............................................

  • 6(y + 7) = 2(y - 3)
  • 6y + 42 = 2y - 6
  • 6y - 2y = -6 - 42
  • 4y = -48
  • y = -12

2...............................................

  • 3x + 2(x - 5) = 25
  • 3x + 2x - 10 = 25
  • 5x = 25 + 10
  • 5x = 35
  • x = 7

3 . ..............................................

  • 10q + 3q + 5 = 2(q - 3)
  • 13q + 5 = 2q - 6
  • 13q - 2q = -6 - 5
  • 11q = -11
  • q = -1

4. ..............................................

  • 1/3(x + 6) = 2/3(x - 9)
  • 3*1/3(x+6) = 3*2/3(x - 9)
  • x + 6 = 2(x - 9)
  • x + 6 = 2x - 18
  • 2x - x = 6 + 18
  • x = 24
