Answer:
Since the Option of equation are not given. Kindly chose any of the below equation from the answer to find the value of 'x'.
OR
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of One leg = x
Length of other Leg= 15
Hypotenuse = 17
We need to find the equation used to determine the value of x.
Solution:
Assuming Triangle to right angled triangle.
So we will apply Pythagoras theorem which sates that;
"The square of sum of two legs of right angle triangle is equal to square of the length of hypotenuse."
so we can say that;
OR
Since the equation are not given. Kindly chose any of the below equation from the answer to find the value of 'x'.
OR
Since in total the cost of all the taxes Mr. Porter pays is $2500 you subtract that from his monthly $7500 salary and get $5000 as his net pay or overall pay for the month.
Answer:
7.5 hours
Way Number One:
<em>This way uses critical thinking</em>
These two trucks are traveling in opposite directions (West and East). One truck moves 49 miles every hour, and the other moves 63 miles per hour. Since they are traveling in opposite directions, we do not have to worry about angles or use a distance formula.
Every hour one truck moves 49 and the other 63. So, if we add 49 to 63 we will get their distance apart after one hour.
-> 49 + 63 = 112 miles
Now, we want to know how long it will take for them to be 840 miles apart. We can divide 840 by 112 to see how many hours it will take, because every hour the trucks become 112 miles farther apart.
-> 840 / 112 = 7.5 hours
Way Number Two:
<em>This way uses a graphing calculator</em>
We can turn the distance traveled by each truck into equations. Let y be miles traveled and x be time spent.
First truck, y = 49x
Second truck, y = 63x
We know their distance apart will be the miles traveld added together, so y = 63x + 49x. Our answer will be x when y is equal to 840. After graphing, we get the point of (840, 7.5)

23 and 2/3
you have 24 and you are taking away 1/3 of a whole
1/3 is equal to .333333333 repeating, as a decimal
therefore 1/3 is less than 1
you are taking away 1/3 of 1 away from 24
1 is equal to 3/3
take away 1/3 and you are left with 2/3
3/3-1/3=2/3
2/3 + 23 (the number that you did not touch)
and you are left with 23 2/3
