Answer:

If you were trying to find 15% of 18, that would be multiplying a decimal, but, you need to mutliply a whole number. $120 should be your answer. People, correct me if I'm wrong (seriously though, not 100% sure if this is correct).

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 15% x Y

18 = 15/100 x Y

Y = 18 × 100/15

Y = 18 × 100 ÷ 15

Y = 120

The graph of the equation below is a circle. What is the length of the radius of the circle? (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 17^2
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  "17" .
______________________________________________________
The radius is:  " 17" .
______________________________________________________
Note:
______________________________________________________
The formula/equation for the graph of a circle is:
______________________________________________________
   (x − h)²  +<span> </span> (y − k)² =  r²  ;

in which:  

          " (h, k) " ; are the coordinate of the point of the center of the circle;

           "r" is the length of the "radius" ; for which we want to determine;
_______________________________________________________
We are given the following equation of the graph of a particular circle:
_______________________________________________________

          →  (x − 4)²  +  (y + 12)² =  17² ;

which is in the correct form:

→  " (x − h)²  +  (y − k)² =  r²  " ;

 in which:  " h = 4 " ;

                  " k = -12" ;

                   "r = 17 " ;  which is the "radius" ; which is our answer.

          →  { Note that: "k = NEGATIVE  12" } ;

→  Since the equation <u>for this particular circle</u> contains the expression:             _________________________________________________________    
                      →     "...(y + k)² ..." ;  
         
[as opposed to the standard form:  "...(y − k)² ..." ] ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since the coordinates of the center of a circle are represented by:
            " (h, k) " ;  
 
→  which are:  " (4, -12) " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since:  " k = -12 " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ;
_________________________________________________________
then: 

 " [y − k ] ²  =  [ y − (k) ] ²  =  " [ y − (-12) ] ² " ;
                                    
                                         =  " ( y + 12)² "  ;
                                    
{NOTE:  Since:  "subtracting a negative" is the same as "adding a positive" ;

           →   So;  " [ y − (-12 ] " = " [ y + (⁺ 12) ] " = " (y + 12) "
___________________________________________________  
Note:  The above explanation is relevant to confirm that the equation is, in fact, in "proper form"; to ensure that the:  radius, "r" ;  is:  "17" .
___________________________________________________
           →    Since:  "r  =  17 " ;  

           →  The radius is:  " 17 " ;

          which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  "17" .

What is the solution to the system of equations? -2x + y = -5 3x – 2y = 12 A) (3, 1) B) (6, 3) C) (-2, -9) D) (-2, -1)
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system of equations, start by multiplying the entire first equation by 2. Then add the two equations together. This will get the y's to cancel and allow you to solve for x.

-4x + 2y = -10

3x - 2y = 12

---------------------

-x = 2

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, we can find y by plugging the x value into either equation.

-2x + y = -5

-2(2) + y = -5

-4 + y = -5

y = -1

A pitcher of water contains 1/4 of water. The water is poured equally into 5 glasses. How many liters of water are in each glass
IRINA_888 [86]
Hey there!

To solve this, divide the numbers 1/4 and 5 . . .

1/4 = 1/4

5 = 5/1

1 x 1 = 1

4 x 5 = 20

= 1/20

1/20 is already in it's simplest form, so it doesn't need to be simplified.

There are 1/20 liters of water in each glass.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
