First use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the triangle with 10 and 6. So 10^2 - 6^2 will give you an answer. The square root that answer and use that answer along with the length of 15 to find x. It’ll be 15^2 + the previous result^2 = x^2. Square root whatever you get for x^2 and that’s your answer.

Answer:

Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

Solution:

Given that

Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.

Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.

Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.

Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x

And assume cost of one medium drink = y

And assume cost of one large drink = z

So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1 $\times$ x + m $\times$ y

= x + my

And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink

= m x y + 1 x z

=my + z

So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z

Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

Can you solve this and show work I wanna check if I got the answer right (I got -5)

marissa [1.9K]

-2(3y + 5) = -4

Distribute

-6y - 10 = -4

Add

-6y = 6

Divide

y = -1

Multiply

5y = -5

You got it right.

Find the value of x.Triangle with midsegment drawn. The midsegment measures 45 units and the side parallel to the midsegment mea

Charra [1.4K]

According to the Triangle Midsegment Thereom, if the midsegment of a triangle is parallel to a side of the triangle, then the midsegment is half the length of side it is parallel to, therefore...
45=(7x+13)/2
And after that, you continue to solve the problem using Algebra
90=7x+13
77=7x
11=x
I hope this answer was helpful! :)

[Right Triangles Only]: Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length.

Step 2: Identify Variables

Leg a = 8

Leg b = 8

Hypotenuse c = x

Step 3: Solve for x

Substitute [PT]: 8² + 8² = x²
Exponents: 64 + 64 = x²
Add: 128 = x²
Isolate x: 8√2 = x
Rewrite: x = 8√2
