−2(6x+5)=74

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(6x+5)=74

−2 x 6x−2 x 5=74

−12x−10=74

Add 10 to both sides.

−12x−10=74

+10 +10

−12x=84

Divide both sides by -12.

−12x = 84

/−12 /-12

x=-7

hope it helps!

Find the center and radius of the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

We know that
the equation of a sphere is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²+(z-l)²=r²
where (h,k,l) is the center and r is the radius

we have
x²+y²+z²−2x−4y+8z+17=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(x²+2x)+(y²-4y)+(z²+8z)=-17
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=-17+1+4+16
(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=4

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=4

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=2²

the center is the point (-1,2,-4) and the radius is 2 units

5x - 9 = -24 + 10x

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

One Solution: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 9 = -24 + 10x

Subtract 5x from both sides. -9 = -24 + 5x

Add 24 to both sides. 15 = 5x

Dived 15/5. 3 = x

Of all sixth graders, 70% sent a text message yesterday. Ten trials of a simulation are conducted and the data are recorded belo

Effectus [21]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, the numbers 0 through 6 represent students who sent a text yesterday while the numbers 7 through 9 represent students who did not send a text yesterday.

Based on this key, we will calculate the number of students who sent the text yesterday and the number of students who did not sent the text yesterday.

The given data is: 62072, 34570, 80983, 04292, 83150, 36330, 96268, 14077, 77985, 13511

For each group we will identify how many students sent the text and how many students did not. According to the key, a number from 0 to 6 will be counted as a student who sent the text and a number from 7 to 9 will be counted as a student who did not send the text. Students who did not sent the text are made bold in the groups below.

62072: 4 students sent the text, 1 did not

34570: 4 students sent the text, 1 did not

80983: 2 students sent the text, 3 did not

04292: 4 students sent the text, 1 did not

83150: 4 students sent the text, 1 did not

36330: All 5 students sent the text

96268: 3 students sent the text, 2 did not

14077: 3 students sent the text, 2 did not

77985: 1 student sent the text, 4 did not

13511: All 5 students sent the text

We need to find the probability that 3 or more of a group of 5 students randomly selected will send a text today.

From the given groups, the number of groups where 3 or more students sent a text = 8

This represents our number of favorable or desired outcomes.

Total number of possible outcomes is the total number of groups = 10

Since, probability is defined as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of outcomes, based on the simulated data the probability that 3 or more of a group of 5 students randomly selected will send a text today will be = $\frac{8}{10}=0.80=80\%$

Thus, based on the simulated data there is 80% probability that 3 or more of a group of 5 students randomly selected will send a text today

1 and 2 are supplements, 3 and 4 supplements and 1 =4. prove 2=3

Ne4ueva [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles that have the sum of their angles to be 180°. Hence if <1 and <2 are supplements, then <1+<2 = 180°.... 1

Similarly if <3 and <4 are supplements, then <3+<4 = 180° ....... 2

Equating the left hand side of both equations since they are both equal to 180°, we will have;

<1+<2 = <3+<4 ....... 3

From the question we are told that <1 = <4, substituting this condition into equation 3;

From 3; <1+<2 = <3+<4

<4+<2 = <3+<4 (since <1 = <4)

subtract <4 from both sides

<4+<2 -<4= <3+<4 -<4

<2 = <3 (Proved!)
