Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem which states that: <u>Hypotenus² = Opposite² + Adjacent²</u>

Where: hypotenus = 10, opposite = x, adjacent = 8

So:

{10}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {8}^{2}

Solving for x

100 =  {x}^{2}  + 64

Collect like terms to make x the subject of formula

100 - 64 =  {x}^{2} →36 =  {x}^{2}

36 =  {x}^{2} ⟹ {x}^{2}  = 36

square root both sides of the equation to find the value of x

\sqrt{ {x}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{36} →x = 6

Therefore: Option A is correct

Remember you can add like terms exg, 3y+4y=7y 3y^2+4y^2=7y^2, but cannot add 3y^2 and 4y, or 3 and 4y so

3a+2w-5a-9w
group like trems
3a-5a+2w-9w
subtract
-2a-7w


3y^2+2w^2-y^2-w^2
group like terms (think of w^2 and y^2 as 1w^2 and 1y^2)
3y^2-y^2+2w^2-w^2
subtract
2y^2+w^2

What is the y intercept of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2,7)
Tom [10]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(2,7)...x = 7 and y = 2
now we sub and fund b, the y int
2 = -3(7) + b
2 = -21 + b
2 + 21 = b
23 = b <== ur y int
