Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
Answer:
<em>x = 7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
17 = 3X + -4
Reorder the terms:
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.
17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X
Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0
17 + -3X = -4 + 0
17 + -3X = -4
Add '-17' to each side of the equation.
17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
0 + -3X = -4 + -17
-3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21
-3X = -21
Divide each side by '-3'.
X = 7
Simplifying
X = 7
