rs + st = rt Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64 Combine like terms (1 and -2)
3x -1 + 2x = 64 Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
-1 + 5x = 64 Add 1 to both sides
5x = 65 Divide both sides by 5
x = 13
Answer:
A (0,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Look where both lines intersect.
The correct answer is $70
First notice that the triangle with sides

and the triangle with sides

are similar. This is true because the angle between sides

in the smaller triangle is clearly

, while the angle between sides

in the larger triangle is clearly

. So the triangles are similar with sides

corresponding to

, respectively.
Now both triangles are

, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is

, then the length of the longer leg is

and the hypotenuse has length

.
Since

is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that

, so
