Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x

2.25 = x
C. The distance around the circle is the correct answer.
Answer:
-8=2x-y get this into y=mx+b form to find the y-intercept
-y=-2x-8
y=2x+8
the y-intercept is 8 so it passes through (0,8)
to find the x-intercept, set y to equal zero
0=2x+8
-8=2x
x=-4
the x-intercept is -4 so it passes through (-4,0)
the slope is 2 based on the slope-intercept form
= (a-5).(a+3)
= a²+3a-5a-15
= a²-2a-15
