Question 13

${12x+2}=\frac{18+34}{2}\\\\12x+2=26\\\\12x=24\\\\x=\boxed{2}$

Question 14

Base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, so:

$73x+1=74\\73x=73\\x=\boxed{1}$

Alvin is 7 years younger than Elgas. The sum of their ages is 63. What is Elgas age?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Elgas is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

Alvin is 7 years younger than Elgas.

A = E - 7

The sum of their ages is 63.

A + E = 63

Let's use substitution.

Plug in the first equation of A into the second equation.

A + E = 63

(E - 7) + E = 63

Combine like terms.

2E - 7 = 63

Add 7 to both sides.

2E = 70

Divide both sides by 2.

E = 35

Elgas is 35.

Hope this helps!

Pythagorean triples are given by the formulas x2 - y2, 2xy, and x2 + y2. Use the formulas for the Pythagorean triples to prove w

Arte-miy333 [17]

Let $k$ be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and $2k+1$ . Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be

$\sqrt{16^2+(2k+1)^2}=\sqrt{4k^2+4k+257}$

The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if $x=16$ and $y=2k+1$ are integers, then so are $x^2-y^2$ , $2xy$ , and $x^2+y^2$ .

However, $4k^2+4k+257$ is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer $k$ , the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.
