Answer:
6x-21
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
"a" is one side of the right triangle.
Its length is: radius of larger circle minus radius of smaller circle: (11 - 3 = 8)
The distance between the center of the circles creates the hypotenuse (17)
8² + b² = 17²
b² = 225
b = 15
Answer: the length of the common external tangent is 15.
Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = 13 → (1)
x + 2y = - 4 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides
x = - 4 - 2y → (3)
Substitute x = - 4 - 2y into (1)
2(- 4 - 2y) - 3y = 13 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 8 - 4y - 3y = 13
- 8 - 7y = 13 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 7y = 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 3
Substitute y = - 3 into (3) for corresponding value of x
x = - 4 - 2(- 3) = - 4 + 6 = 2
Solution is (2, - 3 )
