Answer:

x = -7

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x </em>on both sides:                    1.5x + 10 = -0.5
  2. Subtract 10 on both sides:                  1.5x = -10.5
  3. Divide both sides by 1.5:                     x = -7

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    2.5(-7) + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  2. Multiply:                        -17.5 + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  3. Add/Subtract:               -7.5 = -7.5

And we have our answer!

A circle has its center at (−1, 2) and a radius of 3 units. Find the equation of the circle using the Pythagorean Theorem. PLEAS
notka56 [123]
Pythagorean Theorem is for triangles not circles. 

The equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = radius² where (h, k) is the center.

Plug in your given information and simplify.

(x - (- 1))² + (y - 2)² = (3)²

(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 9 is your equation.

Think of the inequalities as equations in the form of y=Mx+b. Notice how choices C and D match the line shown in the graph if they are seen as linear functions. Now look at the inequality. Since the shaded region is below the line, y must be less than what is input. The correct answer must be choice D.
