Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Distribute

12x - 66 + 15 =21

2.Add the numbers

12x-51=21

3.Add 51 to both sides of the equation

12x -51 +51 = 21+51

4.Simplify

12x=72

5. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

12x/12 = 72/12

6. Divide the numbers

x=6

And you have your answer x=6

a high school graduating class is made up of 410 students. there are 66 more girls than boys. how many boys are in the class?

Rus_ich [418]

172 boys in class

we have total number of students in class = 410

we assume that the number of boys in class = X

Number of girls in class is 66 more then boyes we assume total number of girls = X+66

if we add number of girls and boyes then we found total strength of classX+X+66=4102X+66=4102x=344X=172

number of boys=172number of girls =238

A circle has the order pairs (-1, 2) (0, 1) (-2, -1) what is the equation . Show your work.

olga55 [171]

We know that:

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

is an equation of a circle.

When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:

$\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}$

and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.

There will be:

$\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}1+2a+a^2+4-4b+b^2=r^2\\a^2+1-2b+b^2=r^2\\4+4a+a^2+1+2b+b^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
$

From equations (II) and (III) we have:

$\begin{cases}a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2-2b+1-a^2-b^2-4a-2b-5=r^2-r^2\\\\-4a-4b-4=0\qquad|:(-4)\\\\\boxed{-a-b-1=0}$

and from (I) and (II):

$\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5-a^2-b^2+2b-1=r^2-r^2\\\\2a-2b+4=0\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{a-b+2=0}$

Now we can easly calculate a and b:

$\begin{cases}-a-b-1=0\\a-b+2=0\end{cases}\\--------(+)\\\\-a-b-1+a-b+2=0+0\\\\-2b+1=0\\\\-2b=-1\qquad|:(-2)\\\\\boxed{b=\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\\a-b+2=0\\\\\\a-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=0\\\\\\a+\dfrac{3}{2}=0\\\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{3}{2}}$

Finally we calculate $r^2$ :

$a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\\\\\\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-2\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-1+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{4}=r^2\\\\\\\boxed{r^2=\frac{5}{2}}$

And the equation of the circle is:

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\\\\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\\boxed{\left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}}$

Evaluate the expression -(49/64)^1/2

Nuetrik [128]

The given expression is

$-(\frac{49}{64} )^{1/2}$

49 is the square of 7 and 64 is the square of 8.

So we can write the given expression as

$-(\frac{7^2}{8^2})^{1/2}$

$=-(\frac{7}{8})^{2*1/2} = -\frac{7}{8}$

Heather is filling her new Koi pond with a water hose. After 33 minutes, her pond has 74 gallons water. Her Koi pond holds 480 g

Ulleksa [173]

Initial flow rate: 74 gallons/33 minutes = 2.24 gallons/minute

Addtiional flow rate: 2*74/33 = 4.48 gallons/minute

Total new rate: 3*74/33 = 6.72 gallons/minute

The answer is the option C) 6.7
