Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 6x = 5x – 9x - 2

6+2=5x-9x+6x

8=2x

4=x

What you need to do to be able to solve this is move all of the terms that have no variable and the ones that have the same variable to the other side. Once you have that, you should be able to do 6+2 and solve the side that has variables as if it has no variables. Remember that you have to flip the sign when you are moving all of the numbers. Then when you get to the step where both sides have only one number, that is when you would divide the other number, which in this case is 8, by 2, which is the number correlated with x. And that should get x by itself, and give you the solution.

6 - 6x = 5x - 9x - 2
6 + 2 = 5x - 9x + 6x
8 = 5x - 3x
8 = 2x
x = 8/2
x = 4

dale is driving to Miami. suppose that the distance (in miles) is a linear function of his total driving time (in minutes). dale
nexus9112 [7]
Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:

Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t

Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0

Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles

So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.

50 points and BRAINLIEST!
Harman [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle is , x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

Substituting the three points we get the following equations,

2g +14f +c=-50

14g - 2f + c =-50

16g +12f + c = -100

Solving these equations we get,

g =-4, f = -3, c = 0

Hence general equation of circle is,

x² + y² - 8x - 6y  = 0
