Type Your Question Go!!! Answer by jim_thompson5910(34119) About Me  (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that the triangle is a right triangle and that side 3 is the hypotenuse. 

We basically have this triangle set up: 
 Since we can see that the triangle has legs of 8 and x with a hypotenuse of 12, we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side. 

Pythagoreans theorem: 
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse 


8%5E2%2Bx%5E2=12%5E2 Plug in a=8, b=x, and c=12. Now lets solve for x 

6+4+%2B++x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4 Square each individual term 
 


+x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4+-+6+4 Subtract 64 from both sides 

+x++%5E+2+=+8+0 Combine like terms 

s+q+r+t+%28++x++%5E+2+%29+=+s+q+r+t+%28+8+0+%29 Take the square root of both sides 

x=4%2Asqrt%285%29 Simplify the square root 

Which approximates to... x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6 
So our answer is x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6....

Use the distributive property to write the next step in simplifying the equation. Use the asterisk symbol (*) to represent multi
Maksim231197 [3]

Given:

The equation is:

x(4+5)=54

To find:

The next step in simplifying the equation by using distributive property.

Solution:

Distributive property: According to this property if a, b and c are three real numbers, then

a(b+c)=ab+ac

We have,

x(4+5)=54

Using the distributive property, we get

x(4)+x(5)=54

It can be written as:

4x+5x=54

Therefore, the next step of the simplification is 4x+5x=54.

it confuses me when i have to fill in the in between i just dont quite understand how to work it out please explain it clearly
prisoha [69]

<em>Make the unknown numerator be x and unkown denominotor be y</em>

<em>We have :  7 - </em>\frac{x}{y} = 6\frac{4}{5}

            =>       \frac{x}{y} = 7 - 6\frac{4}{5}

                       \frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{5}

<em>So we need to fill in the box :</em> \frac{1}{5}

<em>If the answer is helpful, Brainliest please!</em>
