Answer:

the average amount of flour used each day=6.08 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam bought 86 pounds of flour for his bakery.

Every day he used the same amount of flour to make bakery items.

After 10 days, Sam was left with 25.2 pounds of flour.

Now we are asked to find the average pounds of flour that Sam used each day.

Total amount of flour used=86-25.2=60.8 pounds.

As he used the flour equal amount each day for 10 days.

So, the average flour used each day=

amount of flour used/ number of days=60.8/10=6.08.

the average amount of flour used each day=6.08 pounds

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

So since Sam have 25.2 leftover pounds of flour, we can subtract that from 86, knowing that will be left over in the end. Next, we divide the number left. 86 - 25.2 = 60.8

Finally, divide that by 10, since there are 10 days.

We end up with 6.08 pounds.

A circle has the equation 2x²+12x+2y²−16y−150=0.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: B. The coordinates of the center are (-3,4), and the length of the radius is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in the center-radius form is:

$(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$ (1)

Where $(h,k)$ are the coordinates of the center and $r$ is the radius.

Now, we are given the equation of this circle as follows:

$2x^{2}+12x+2y^{2}-16y-150=0$ (2)

And we have to write it in the format of equation (1). So, let's begin by applying common factor 2 in the left side of the equation:

$2(x^{2}+6x+y^{2}-8y-75)=0$ (3)

Rearranging the equation:

$x^{2}+6x+y^{2}-8y=75$ (4)

$(x^{2}+6x)+(y^{2}-8y)=75$ (5)

Now we have to complete the square in both parenthesis, in order to have a perfect square trinomial in the form of $(a\pm b)^{2}=a^{2}\pm+2ab+b^{2}$ :

<u>For the first parenthesis:</u>

$x^{2}+6x+b^{2}$

We can rewrite this as:

$x^{2}+2(3)x+b^{2}$

Hence in this case $b=3$ and $b^{2}=9$ :

$x^{2}+2(3)x+3^{2}=x^{2}+6x+9=(x+3)^{2}$

<u>For the second parenthesis:</u>

$y^{2}-8y+b^{2}$

We can rewrite this as:

$y^{2}-2(4)y+b^{2}$

Hence in this case $b=-3$ and $b^{2}=9$ :

$y^{2}-2(4)y+4^{2}=y^{2}-8y+16=(y-4)^{2}$

Then, equation (5) is rewritten as follows:

$(x^{2}+6x+9)+(y^{2}-8y+16)=75+9+16$ (6)

<u>Note we are adding 9 and 16 in both sides of the equation in order to keep the equality.</u>

Rearranging:

$(x-3)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}=100$ (7)

At this point we have the circle equation in the center radius form $(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

Hence:

$h=-3$

$k=4$

$r=\sqrt{100}=10$
