Answer:

= 2 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of chain Jesse needs = 10 1/4 feet

Length of chain Jesse has:

Two small pieces each measuring 2 1/8 feet

= 2 × 2 1/8 feet

= 2 × 17/8

= 34/8 feet

Third piece measuring 3 3/4 feet

Total Length of chain Jesse has = 34/8 feet + 3 3/4 feet

= 34/8 + 15/4

= 34+30/8

= 64/8

= 8 feet

Total Length of chain Jesse has = 8 feet

Length of chain Jesse needs to purchase = Length of chain Jesse needs - Total Length of chain Jesse has

= 10 1/4 feet - 8 feet

= 2 1/4 feet

Length of chain Jesse needs to purchase = 2 1/4 feet

Answer:

1. Their ages are:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8

2. Their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11

3. Their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9

4. Their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the assumption that:

S = Steve's age

A = Anne's age

In four years, we are going to have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we had:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (2)

Substitute S from (2) into (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6 = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, we have:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8.

2. We make the assumption that:

M = Max's age

B = Bert's age

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (3)

A year from now, it will be:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (4)

Substitute M from (4) into (3) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

If we substitute B = 11 into equation (4), we will have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11.

3. We make the assumption that:

S = Sury's age

B = Billy's age

Now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (5)

Next year, it will be:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (6)

Substituting S from equation (5) into equation (6) and solve for B, we will have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (5), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9.

4. We make the assumption that:

M = The man's age

S = His son's age

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (7)

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (8)

Substituting M = 3S from (7) into (8) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (7), we have:

M = 3 * 10 = 30

Therefore, their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Type the correct answer in each box. A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2). The equatio
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(x+ \boxed{-5})^2+(y+\boxed4)^2=\boxed{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Center of circle is at (5, -4).

A point on the circle is (x_1,y_1)=(-3, 2)

Equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius 'r' is given as:

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

Here, (h,k)=(5,-4)

Radius of a circle is equal to the distance of point on the circle from the center of the circle and is given using the distance formula for square of the distance as:

r^2=(h-x_1)^2+(k-y_1)^2

Using distance formula for the points (5, -4) and (-3, 2), we get

r^2=(5-(-3))^2+(-4-2)^2\\r^2=(5+3)^2+(-6)^2\\r^2=8^2+6^2\\r^2=64+36=100

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

(x-5)^2+(y-(-4))^2=100\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=100

Now, rewriting it in the form asked in the question, we get

(x+ \boxed{-5})^2+(y+\boxed4)^2=\boxed{100}
