Answer:
180 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Three cars each need 4 wheels, so that is...
4 + 4 + 4 wheels, which is 12 wheels
That's unusual: repetition: -1/2 - 1/2.
Did you perhaps mean "Factor -1/2 out of (-1/2)x + 6?
Let's do that. Let's rewrite 6 as (-1/2)(-12).
Then (-1/2)x + 6 (-1/2)x -(1/2)(-12)
-------------- = ------------------------ = x - 1/2
-1/2 -1/2
Hope that's what you wanted. If not, please try to apply a similar approach to solving this particular problem.
Subtracting the second equation by 18 on both sides, we have xy=-18. Next, we divide both sides by x to get y=-18/x Plugging that into the first equation, we have x+2(-18/x)=9. Multiplying both sides by x, we get x^2-36=9x. After that, we subtract both sides by 9x to get x^2-9x-36=0. Finding 2 numbers that add up to -9 but multiply to -36, we do a bit of guess and check to find the answers to be -12 and 3. Factoring it, we get
x^2-12x+3x-36=x(x-12)+3(x-12)=(x+3)(x-12). To find the x values, we have to find out when 0=(x+3)(x-12). This is simple as when you multiply 0 with anything, it is 0. Therefore, x=-3 and 12. Plugging those into x=-18/y, we get x=-18/y and by multiplying y to both sides, we get xy=-18 and then we can divide both sides by x to get -18/x=y. Plugging -3 in, we get -18/-3=6 and by plugging 12 in we get -18/12=-1.5. Therefore, our points are (-3,6) and (12, -1.5)
Ok so this is conic sectuion
first group x's with x's and y's with y's
then complete the squra with x's and y's
2x^2-8x+2y^2+10y+2=0
2(x^2-4x)+2(y^2+5y)+2=0
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
5/2=2.5, 2.5^2=6.25
add that and negative inside
2(x^2-4x+4-4)+2(y^2+5y+6.25-6.25)+2=0
factor perfect squares
2((x-2)^2-4)+2((y+2.5)^2-6.25)+2=0
distribute
2(x-2)^2-8+2(y+2.5)^2-12.5+2=0
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2-18.5=0
add 18.5 both sides
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2=18.5
divide both sides by 2
(x-2)^2+(y+2.5)^2=9.25
that is a circle center (2,-2.5) with radius √9.25
