Answer:

-5(3x + 6) = -3(4x - 2)

Distribute -5 through the parenthesis

-15x - 30 = -3(4x - 2)

distribute -3 through the other parenthesis

-15x - 30 = -3( -12x + 6 )

move the variable the left hand side, change sign

-15x + 12 - 30 = 6

move constant to the right hand side

-15x + 12 = 6 + 30

collect like terms

-3x = 6 + 30

add the numbers

-3x = 36

divide both sides by -3

-3/-3 = 36/-3

x = -12

Answer:

-5(3x + 6) = -3(4x - 2)

-15x-30=-12x+6

-30-6=-12x+15x

3x=-36

x=-36/3=-12

Answer:

<u>Picture 1</u>

Your choice C is correct

  • (x - (-2))² + (y - 9)² = 5² ⇒
  • (x + 2)² + (y - 9)² = 25

<u>Picture 2</u>

  • (x + 5)² + (y - 6)² = 36
  • (x - (-5))² + (y - 6)² = 6²
  • r = 6, (h, k) = (-5, 6)

Correct choice is C

<u>Picture 3</u>

  • (x + 5)² + (y + 2)² = 81
  • (x - (-5))² + (y - (-2))² = 9²
  • r = 9, (h, k) = (-5, -2)

Correct choice is C

2. A recipe says that 6 spring rolls will serve 3 people. Complete the table as you answer the questions. Be prepared to explain
LuckyWell [14K]

Answers:

a. 0.5 people

b. 10 spring rolls will serve 5 people, 16 spring rolls will serve  8 people, 25 spring rolls will serve 12.5 people

c. n/2 or 1/2 of n

Step-by-step explanation:

if 6=3p, p representing each person, then we find that 2 spring rolls serve 1 person, so 1 spring roll serves 0.5 people!

if 1=0.5p, then p is 1/2 of the amount of spring rolls.

Divide each of the amount of spring rolls by 2.

10=5p

16=8p

25=12.5p

n=n/2

The variable p is important, as to show that it's the amount of people.

Hope this helps!
