We have this equation.
A²+B²=C²
We have bits of information that'll help us simplify the equation so there's only one variable.
The longer leg, A, is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter leg, B, tripled.
A=3B+3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=C²
The hypotenuse, C, is 3 inches less than four times the length of the shorter leg. C=4B-3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=(4B-3)²
Let's solve.
9B²+18B+9+B²=16B²-24B+9
10B²+18B+9=16b²-24b+9
Let's subtract 9 from both sides.
10b²+18b=16b²-24b
Let's subtract 10b² from both sides.
18b=6b²-24b
Let's add 24b from both sides.
42b=6b²
Let's divide each side by 6.
7b=b²
With this, you can tell that b is 7 since it times 7 equal itself squared.
The shorter leg is 7 inches.
Now, let's look back at the bits of information.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter side tripled.
3(7)+3=24
So, the longer side is 24. We can either use the other information or plug it into the equation. We can do both. 
The hypotenuse is 3 less than four times the shorter leg.
4(7)-3=25
7²+24²=
49+576=625
√625=25
So, the length of the hypotenuse is 25 inches.

A bag contains ten marbles of equal size and weight. One marble is blue, one marble is white, three are yellow, and five marbles
Paul [167]

Answer:

B) 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the probability of picking a red marble is 5/10, which is the same as 1/2. This is because there are 5 marbles in the bag that are red out of the 10 total marbles. Then, because we don't replace the marble, there are now 9 total marbles, with 1 blue, 1 white, 3 yellow, and 4 red. Now the probability of picking a red marble is 4/9.

Multiplying these two probabilities together gives you the probability of picking 2 red marbles in a row, which is 1/2 * 4/9 which is equal to 4/18, or 2/9 when simplified.

The solution is {-8, 3} but I’m not sure how to graph it on a line, is it A B C or D?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-8 < x< 3

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+5| <11

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative ( remember to flip the inequality for the negative)

2x+5 <11  and   2x+5 > -11

Subtract 5 from each side

2x+5-5 < 11-5 and    2x+5-5 > -11-5

2x< 6           and           2x>-16

Divide by 2

2x/2 <6/2        and       2x/2 >-16/2

x <3                  and             x>-8

-8 < x< 3

x is less than 3 and x is greater than -8

open circles and -8 and 3 and a line between

Solve<br> 3x+1=x+5<br> The solution is x
solong [7]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+1=x+5

Subtract x from each side to get all the variables on one side

3x-x+1=x-x+5

2x+1 = 5

Subtract 1 from each side to get all the constants on the other side

2x+1-1 = 5-1

2x= 4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =4/2

x =2

What is the solution to the linear equation 2.8y+6+0.02y=5y-14
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Group all the 'y' terms on the left and all the other terms on the right:

<span>2.8y+6+0.02y=5y-14 => y(2.8+0.02-5)=-14-6

Now add up 2.8, 0.02 and -5; then combine -14 and -6.  Can you now solve for y?
