$\dfrac{3}{4}(5+x)+4=3x+1\ \ \ \ |\cdot4\\\\3(5+x)+16=12x+4\ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\(3)(5)+(3)(x)+16=12x+4\\\\15+3x+16=12x+4\\\\31+3x=12x+4\ \ \ \ |-31\\\\3x=12x-27\ \ \ \ |-12x\\\\-9x=-27\ \ \ \ |:(-9)\\\\\boxed{x=3}$

Find the area of the circle whose equation is x2+y2=6x-8y

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Given that the equation of a circle is :

$\green{ \boxed{\boxed{\begin{array}{cc} {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 6x - 8y \\ = > {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6x + 8y = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2 \times ( - 3) \times x + 2 \times 4 \times y = 0 \\ \\ \sf \: standard \: equation \: o f \: circle \: is : \\ {x}^{2} + {x}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 \\ \\ \sf \: by \: comparing \\ \\ g = - 3 \\ f = 4 \\ c = 0 \\ \\ \sf \: radius \: \: r = \sqrt{ {g}^{2} + {f}^{2} - c } \\ = \sqrt{ {( - 3)}^{2} + {4}^{2} - 0 } \\ = \sqrt{9 + 16} \\ = \sqrt{25} \\ = 5 \: unit \\ \\ \bf \: area \: = \pi {r}^{2} \\ = \pi \times {5}^{2} \\ =\pink{ 25\pi \: { unit }^{2} }\end{array}}}}$
