-10 is equal to 5 subtracted from a number

Assume that the number is x

So the equation will be

-10=x-5

we put x at first because in subtraction the number after the word "from" comes first

Now let us find x

We need to move 5 to the left side to find x, so add 5 to both sides

\begin{gathered} -10+5=x-5+5 \\ -5=x \end{gathered}

The number is

Five years ago Janeta age was one_fifth of her mother'sage .Now she is one_third of her mother's age.Find their present ages?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

J - Janeta's age  M - mother's age

A) (J-5) = .2 * (M-5)

B) J = (1/3) * M

Subtracting 5 from both sides of B:

B) J -5 = (1/3)M -5

then we substitute the right side of this into the left side of A and we get

(1/3)M -5 = .2 M -1

.333333333333M -5 = .2M -1

.1111111111111111111M = 4

Mother's Age = 36

Janeta's Age = 12

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is
Harman [31]
A and b are legs
a^2+b^2=c^2
lets say
a>b

so
a=13+3b
c=14+3b

a^2+b^2=c^2
(13+3b)^2+b^2=(14+3b)^2
9b^2+78b+169+b^2=9b^2+84b+196
10b^2+78b+169=9b^2+84b+196
minus 9b^2 both sides
b^2+78b+169=84b+196
minus 84b both sides
b^2-6b+169=196
minus 196 both sides
b^2-6b-27=0
factor
(b+3)(b-9)=0
set to zero
b+3=0
b=-3, false, dimentions cannot be negative

b-9=0
b=9

shorter leg is 9

a=13+3b
a=13+3(9)
a=13+27
a=40

c=14+3b
c=14+27
c=41

side legnths are
9in, 40in, 41in
