We want to recast the equation into the standard form equation for a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r. That equation is
... (x -h)² + (y -k)² = r²
Start by completing the square for both x-terms and y-terms.
... x² - 4x + y² + 4y = k
To do that, add the squares of half the coefficients of the x- and y-terms.
... x² - 4x + (-2)² + y² + 4y + 2² = k + (-2)² + 2²
... (x -2)² + (y +2)² = k + 8 = r² . . . . . this is now equal to the square of the radius, so we have
... k + 8 = 6² = 36
Subtracting 8 gives
... k = 28 . . . . . . . matches selection D)
I looked at another online and it said letter A. (Not 100% sure)
520 dollars for 4 train tickets and 3 bus tickets.
If I'm understanding the question correctly, 7+3=10. 10*8=80.
