Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

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

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

See the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

7. The common difference is 4, so the next term will be 17+4 = 21, and the term after that will be 21+4 = 25. Figuring the next two terms as 21, 25 is sufficient to select the appropriate answer.

8. The table entry (0, 14) tells you only choices G and J are viable. The difference between terms of 22-14 = 8 tells you the appropriate choice is the one with a slope of 8, choice G.

9. In a linear equation, the sum of exponents of the variables in any/every term must not be greater than 1. (All exponents must be integers, as they are here.) Selections A and D have squared terms, so are not linear. Selection C has the product of variables "xy", so is not linear.

An equation of the circle whose center is the origin and
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{10em}Option C is correct\end{minipage}}

Explanation:

A circle whose center is (a, b) and radius r, has equation:

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

The center of circle is  given as origin (0, 0), therefore:

a = 0\\b = 0

This circle passes (3, 0), then the radius of circle is the distance (d) between origin (0, 0) and (3, 0)

d = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^{2} + (0 - 0)^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2} } = 3

=> r = d = 3

Substitute a, b, and r back into original equation:

(x - 0)^{2} + (y - 0)^{2}  = 3^{2}

or

x^{2} + y^{2} = 9

Hope this helps!
