What is the value of x in the equation below? 3(12x-24) = 16
A) 2
B) 6
C) 8
D) 10

ANSWER: B) 6

3(12x - 24) = 16 (use the distributive property)

36x - 72 = 16  (add 72 to both sides to get the x-term alone)

36x = 88 (divide both sides by 36 to isolate x)

x = 2.4 (the four is repeating. that's the exact answer.)

I would say the answer is A because 2.4 is close to 2 than any of the other answers.

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.
