Answer:

12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation: a² + b² = c² , in which c is the hypotenuse, and a & b are the other sides.

Note that the hypotenuse is 15, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables

a² + (9)² = (15)²

Simplify. First, solve for the solvable squares

a² + 81 = 225

Isolate the variable a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 81 from both sides:

a² + 81 (-81) = 225 (-81)

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

Isolate the variable a. Root both sides.

√(a²) = √(144)

a = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

a = 12

12 cm is your answer

The roosevelt middle school band is having a fundraiser. They sold a total of 300 hotdogs and hamburgers. Hot dogs were sold for
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

180 hamburgers

120 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold

We proceed as follows;

Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.

We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;

x + y = 300 ..........(I)

Now let’s look at the prices.

x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs

y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.

Adding both to give total, we have ;

2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)

This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y

Now let’s insert this in the second equation;

2(300-y) + 3y = 780

600-2y + 3y = 780

y = 780-600 = 180

Recall; x + y = 300

x = 300 -y

x = 300-180 = 120

What is the answer here and explain why.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(- x + 8) = 0

- 4≠ 0, so

- x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- x = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 8

Please HELP!! ILL GIVE BRAINLEST! QUCIK PLEASE HELP!!
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

d. linear; $25/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

From looking at the graph, we have that renting for 2 hours costs $50, for 4 hours costs $100, for 6 hours costs $150, and for 8 hours costs $200. To find out whether the quantities described in the table are linear, we have to see if there is a constant rate of change of price.

For hour 2 to hour 4, we can see that the price increases by $50. This is the same for hour 4 to hour 6 and hour 6 to hour 8. For every 2 hour time interval, the price increases by $50. Therefore, there is a constant rate of change and the quantities described in the table are linear.

Now we have to find the constant rate of change per hour. We know that the price increases by $50 every 2 hours, so, by dividing both the hours and price increase by 2, the price increases by $25 per hour. So the constant rate of change is $25/hour.

Linear. $25/hour

Answer choice d.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
