Answer:
D. The correct value of c = 7.4
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Tangent-Secant theorem:
"When a tangent and a secant are drawn from one single external point to a circle, square of the length of tangent segment must be equal to the product of lengths of whole secant segment and the exterior portion of secant segment."
Here, the external length of tangent segment = 10
Also, the length of internal segment is 14 and c.
So, by the SECANT THEOREM:

or, c = 7. 1428
Now, rounding off the value of c = 7. 14 to the nearest tenth, we get
c = 7. 4
Hence the correct value of c = 7.4
Answer: The time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Time taken by Blake to paint one room = 9 hours
Time taken by Ned to paint one room = 6 hours
Work done by Blake = 
Work done by Ned = 
Total work done by both of them together is given by

So, the time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, add 3 to both sides of the equation:
u = -3a - 3
u (+3) = -3a - 3 (+3)
u + 3 = -3a
Next, divide -3 from both sides of the equation:
(u + 3)/-3 = (-3a)/-3
a = (u + 3)/-3
is your answer.
