Work is shown (^_^)
Did #9-10 also
3) 3p -2 = -29 Isolate 3
3p= -29+2
3p= -27 Divide by 3
p = -9
4) 1- r = -5 Isolate r
-r= -5-1
-r= -6 Multiply by -1
r= 6
5) k-10/2 = -7 Multiply by 2
k-10= 2(-7)
k-10= -14
k=-14+10
k=-4
See attached file for #6-10

Ok ok so 28 because 9+9 is 18 and then 5+5 is 10 so you add them up and then 28
A. because he had ridden less than 140 so 5s >140
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we want to figure out the ellipse equation which passes through <u>(</u><u>1</u><u>,</u><u>4</u><u>)</u><u> </u>and <u>(</u><u>-</u><u>3</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>
the standard form of ellipse equation is given by:

where:
- (h,k) is the centre
- a is the horizontal redius
- b is the vertical radius
since the centre of the equation is not mentioned, we'd assume it (0,0) therefore our equation will be:

substituting the value of x and y from the point (1,4),we'd acquire:

similarly using the point (-3,2), we'd obtain:

let 1/a² and 1/b² be q and p respectively and transform the equation:

solving the system of linear equation will yield:

substitute back:

divide both equation by 1 which yields:

substitute the value of a² and b² in the ellipse equation , thus:

simplify complex fraction:

and we're done!
