Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Any straight line can be represented by an equation of the form

Y = mX + b

where m is the slope and b is the Y intercept, so these two equations are lines. The only solution is where the two lines cross, so must satisfy both equations. Plugging in 3 for X and -2 for Y we get

Y = -3X + 7

-2 = -3(3) + 7

-2 = -9 + 7

-2 = -2 True

AND,

Y = 2X - 8

-2 = 2(3) - 8

-2 = 6 - 8

-2 = -2 True

So since both are true, yes (3, -2)  is the solution.

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3)=x-4 (Multiply the 2 by the x and the 3);

2x+6=x-4 (Now you group like terms)

2x-x=-4-6

x=-10

The figure shows a circle inscribed in a triangle. To construct the inscribed circle, angle bisectors were first constructed at
klemol [59]

Answer:

Segments perpendicular to the sides of the triangle through the intersection of the angle bisectors were constructed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above choice represents a bit of excess work. Actually, only one such perpendicular line segment needs to be constructed in order to determine the radius of the inscribed circle.

Once you know the center and radius, you can construct the inscribed circle.

$ per min is a rate. you multiple by minutes to get dollars.

A = 10x
B = 5x + 20

set them equal to find minutes, x.

10x = 5x + 20
10x - 5x = 20
5x = 20

x = 4

How much greater is the area of a a square with a side length of 8 inches than the area of a circle with radius of 4 inches?
expeople1 [14]
Area of a square= l²
                           = 8×8 = 64 in²

Area of  a circle= πr²
                         = π × 4²
                         = 50.3 in²
Difference = 64 - 50.3 = 13.7 in²
