Valentin [98]3 years ago

Answer:

One leg - 15 inches

Second leg - 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg - x inches.

Second leg - (x + 21) inches.

Hypotenuse - 39 inches.

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (x + 21)² = 39²

x² + x² + 2*21x  + 21² = 39²

2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0

2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0

x² + 21x - 540 = 0

(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0

x = 15, x = - 36

We can use only positive value.

One leg - x inches = 15 inches

Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 186. What are the two numbers?
ozzi

Answer: 92 and 94

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

x + 2 = second number

x + x + 2 = 186

simplify

2x + 2 = 186

subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 184

divide both sides by 2

x = 92

92 + 2 = 94

The numbers are 92 and 94.

Does (2, 8) make the equation y = 4x true?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Yes, it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 4x is the same as saying:

"The y coordinate is 4 times as much as the x coordinate"

So, with the coordinate set of (2, 8):

y = 4x

8 = 4 * 2

This is correct, meaning the coordinate does fit the equation.

Hope this helps!
