Solve for x.
1/10(x - 3) = -40
a) -403
b) -397
c) -7
d) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

This may look daunting, but let us approach it step by step.

multiply 1/10 by x - 3

0.1x - 0.3 = -40

In algebra, the goal is always to undo all the operations and get back to the original problem so that the mystery value can be determined. In this case since 0.3 was removed, we must add it back.

0.1x = -39.7

0.1x/0.1 = x

39.7/0.1 = -397

Answer seems to be B. -397, but we should still check it.

0.1(-397) - 0.3 = -40

-39.7 - 0.3 = -40

-40 = -40 Correct

If the answer was incorrect, this would show that there had been a flaw in our calculations. But everything checks out, so we are done!

Our final answer is B. -397.

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
