Step-by-step explanation:

since we are using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle),

you want to get the expression

y² = 3² + 3²

so, you pick the ² and put it next to the y left of the "=" sign.

and to the right of the "=" sign you put 3, ², +, 3, ²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>

A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?

Let

x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper

we know that

The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$x+1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=3\frac{4}{8}$
