Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number is x.

6 * x = 6x

8 * x = 8x

6x - 8x = 12

-2x = 12

x = -6

I hope this was helpful. The number is -6.

6, 12= 6x - 8x

8x - 6x = 2x

12= 2x
12 dived by 2 is 6

6 is the answer

Find an equation of the sphere with center (4, −12, 8) and radius 10. use an equation to describe its intersection with each of
xxMikexx [17]
<span>Sphere: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Intersection in xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 Intersection in xz-plane: DNE Intersection in yz-plane: (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84 The desired equation is quite simple. Let's first create an equation for the sphere centered at the origin: x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 10^2 Now let's translate that sphere to the desired center (4, -12, 8). To do that, just subtract the center coordinate from the x, y, and z variables. So (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 10^2 (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Might as well deal with that double negative for y, so (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 And we have the desired equation. Now for dealing with the coordinate planes. Basically, for each coordinate plane, simply set the coordinate value to 0 for the axis that's not in the desired plane. So for the xy-plane, set the z value to 0 and simplify. So let's do that for each plane: xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (0 - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (-8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + 64 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 xz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (0 + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 12^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 144 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = -44 And since there's no possible way to ever get a sum of 2 squares to be equal to a negative number, the answer to this intersection is DNE. This shouldn't be a surprise since the center point is 12 units from this plane and the sphere has a radius of only 10 units. yz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (0 - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (-4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 16 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84</span>

A restaurant offers a​ $12 dinner special that has 77 choices for an​ appetizer, 1010 choices for an​ entrée, and 44 choices for
krok68 [10]
<span>280 I'm assuming that this question is badly formatted and that the actual number of appetizers is 7, the number of entres is 10, and that there's 4 choices of desserts. So let's take each course by itself. You can choose 1 of 7 appetizers. So we have n = 7 After that, you chose an entre, so the number of possible meals to this point is n = 7 * 10 = 70 Finally, you finish off with a dessert, so the number of meals is: n = 70 * 4 = 280 Therefore the number of possible meals you can have is 280. Note: If the values of 77, 1010 and 44 aren't errors, but are actually correct, then the number of meals is n = 77 * 1010 * 44 = 3421880 But I believe that it's highly unlikely that the numbers in this problem are correct. Just imagine the amount of time it would take for someone to read a menu with over a thousand entres in it. And working in that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare.</span>
