$2\frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{8}$

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

$\frac{5}{2} - \frac{5}{8}$

Subtract the fractions to get your final answer:

$\frac{15}{8}$

X should be 3,

because 8x means 8 times what number.

So 8x must be 3.

8 times 3 = 24. 24 +5 = 29.

Hope you Understand :) !

NO LINKS!!!! Find the equation of the circle below

inysia [295]

Answer:

$(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

where:

(a, b) is the center
r is the radius

From inspection of the diagram, the center of the circle appears to be at point (-3, 2), although this is not very clear. Therefore, a = -3 and b = 2.

Substitute these values into the general form of the equation of a circle:

$\implies (x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

$\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

Again, from inspection of the diagram, the maximum vertical point of the circle appears to be at y = 5. Therefore, to calculate the radius, subtract the y-value of the center point from the y-value of the maximum vertical point:

⇒ radius (r) = 5 - 2 = 3

Substitute the found value of r into the equation:

$\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=3^2$
