Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
24 - 3 x = -27
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 - 3 x = -27-24
-3x =-51
Divide each side by -3
-3x/-3 = -51/-3
x = 17
Check
24 -3(17) = -27
24 -51 = -27
-27 = -27
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this complete problem: "A cell tower is located at (-8, 4) and transmits a circular signal that covers three major cities. The three cities are located on the circle and have the following coordinates: G (-4, 7), H (-13, 4), and I (-8, -1). Find the equation of the circle"
For this case the generla equation for the circle is given by:

From the info we know that the tower is located at (-8, 4) so then h = -8 and k = 4, so then we need to find the radius. So we have the equation like this:
If the 3 points are on the circle then satisfy the equation. We can use the first point (-4,7) and if we replace we can find the value for 

So then 
And if we replace the second point we got this:

And for the third point we have:

And we got the same result.
So then our final equation is given:

6/13, when turned into a decimal, is equal to 0.4615384615... And so on. That decimal can be rounded to the nearest hundredth to become 0.46.
Is 0.46 closer to 0.5, or 0? When put on a number line, we can see how close it is to 0.5, which is the same as 1/2.
6/13, rounded to the nearest half, is 1/2.
Hope this helped =)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 1, 6 ] and from the graph
f(b) = f(6) = 0
f(a) = f(- 1) = 0, thus
average rate of change =
=
= 0
Answer:
<h2>
perimeter of △SMP = 25</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the triangle △SMP is the sum of al the sides of the triangle.
Perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||
Note that the triangle △LRN, △LSM, △MPN and △SRP are all scalene triangles showing that their sides are different.
Given LM=9, NR=16 and SR=8
NR = NP+PR
Since NP = PR
NR = NP+NP
NR =2NP
NP = NR/2 = 16/2
NP = 8
From △LSM, NP = PR = <u>MS</u><u> = 8</u>
Also since LM = MN, MN = 9
From △SRP, SR = RP = <u>PS = 9</u>
Also SR =<u> MP = 8</u>
From the equation above, perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||
perimeter of △SMP = 8+8+9
perimeter of △SMP = 25
