You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.
The distances:
- from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
- from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.
Then
Add these two equations:
and subtract first equation from the second:
Note that 
thus
The equation for the planet's orbit is
You do 3832083082x 32u393829832983x to get this 5,418
Find the x and y-intercepts of the equation. Then calculate the points at constant intervals and plot and connect those points on a makeshift graph. A quadratic equation can have 2 solutions, 1 solution, or none. The corresponding graphs(if two solutions) would most probably cross over the x-axis twice.
Hope this helps.
It’s 4,366,813 km that’s the suns length
