crimeas [40]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x−8)=x+5x

Distribute

2x - 16 = x+5x

Combine like terms

2x-16 = 6x

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-16 = 6x-2x

-16 = 4x

Divide by 4

-16/4 = 4x/4

-4 =x

The circle shown is centered at the origin and contains the point (-4, -2). What is the length of the diameter of the circle? Ro
trasher [3.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for circle centered at origin:

x² + y² = r².

Therefore r² = (-4)² + (-2)² = 20, r = √20.

Hence d = 2r = 2√20 = 8.94 (2d.p.)

How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 5 m, 16 m, and 5 m?
lidiya [134]

Q. How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 5 m, 16 m, and 5 m?

Solution:

Here we are given with the sides of the triangle as 5m, 16m and 5.

As the Triangle inequality we know that

The sum of the length of the two sides should be greater than the length of the third side. But this inequality fails here.

Hence no triangle can be made.

So the correct option is None.

Q.How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 6 cm, 2 cm, and 7 cm?

Solution:

Here we are given with the sides of the triangle as 6m, 2m and 7m.

As the Triangle inequality we know that

The sum of the length of the two sides should be greater than the length of the third side. The given values follows the triangle inequality.

Hence one triangle can be formed.

So the correct option is  one.

The first blanks options are -2 , -1/2 , 2 , 1/2
Pie

Answer:

equation 1

y = -2x

equation 2

y = x-3

Solution to both

(1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the equations of both lines

General form is;

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y-intercept

Table 1

since we have a point 0,0; the y-intercept here is zero

Let us get the slope. We can do this by selecting any two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-10)/(-1+5) = -8/4 = -2

So the equation of the first line is;

y = -2x

Table 2

we get the slope

m = (4+2)/(7-1) = 6/6 = 1

The partial equation is;

y = x + c

To get c, we select any two point and substitute

4 = 7 + c

c = 4-7

c = -3

So the equation is;

y = x-3

To get the solution to both systems, we equate the y

-2x = x - 3

-2x-x = -3

-3x = -3

x = -3/-3

x = 1

To get y, we substitute;

recall; y = -2x

y = -2(1)

y = -2

Solution to the system is;

(1,-2)
