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.

You have 16 yellow beads, 20 red beads, and 24 orange beads to make identical bracelets. What is the greatest number of the brac

zzz [600]

Answer:

4 bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you have 16 yellow beads 20 red beads and 24 orange beads to make identical bracelet. We are asked to find the greatest numbers of bracelets you can make using all the beads.

To solve our given problem, we need to find greatest common factor of 16, 20 and 24.

Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

We can see that greatest common factor of 16, 20 and 24 is 4, therefore, you can make 4 bracelets using all the beads.

What is the solution? 45-[5+8y-3(y+3)]= -3(3y-5)-[5(y-1)-2y+6

monitta

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

45−(5+8y−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)−(5(y−1)−2y+6)

45+−1(5+8y−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)+−1(5(y−1)−2y+6)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

45+(−1)(5)+−1(8y)+−1(−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)+−1(5(y−1))+−1(−2y)+(−1)(6)

45+−5+−8y+3y+9=−3(3y−5)+−5y+5+2y+−6

45+−5+−8y+3y+9=(−3)(3y)+(−3)(−5)+−5y+5+2y+−6(Distribute)

45+−5+−8y+3y+9=−9y+15+−5y+5+2y+−6

(−8y+3y)+(45+−5+9)=(−9y+−5y+2y)+(15+5+−6)(Combine Like Terms)

−5y+49=−12y+14

Step 2: Add 12y to both sides.

−5y+49+12y=−12y+14+12y

7y+49=14

Step 3: Subtract 49 from both sides.

7y+49−49=14−49

7y=−35

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

−35

y=−5

Which of the following is the standard form of 36 / 24

RSB [31]

Answer:

15 x 10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

36÷24=1.5

In this case I'm considering 15 as the base of my standard form.

To make 15 a 1.5, you'll have to move from right to left one unit and on the number line moving from the right to left gives you a negative number of units moved

Jose bought a bag of 6 oranges for $2.82. He also bought 5 pineapples. He gave the cashier $20 and received $1.43 change. How mu

svp [43]

Your answer is: $3.15 each.

Here are the steps:

First, I added $2.82 and $1.43. Then, I subtracted the sum ($4.25) from $20. Lastly, I divided the difference($15.75) by five because there were five pineapples. Which gave me the answer: $3.15.

Which statement describes the effect on the parabola f(x)=2x•x-5x+3 when changed to f (x)= 2x•2-5x+1

o-na [289]

Answer:

The parabola is translated down 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the parabola f(x) = 2x² – 5x + 3

To change this parabola to f(x) = 2x² - 5x + 1, you must have performed the following calculation:

f(x) = 2x² – 5x + 3 -2= 2x² - 5x + 1 Expresion A

The algebraic expression of the parabola that results from translating the parabola f (x) = ax² horizontally and vertically is g (x) = a(x - p)² + q, translating in the same way as the function.

If p> 0 and q> 0, the parabola shifts p units to the right and q units up.
If p> 0 and q <0, the parabola shifts p units to the right and q units down.
If p <0 and q> 0, the parabola shifts p units to the left and q units up.
If p <0 and q <0, the parabola shifts p units to the left and q units down.

In the expression A it can be observed then that q = -2 and is less than 0. So the displacement is down 2 units.

This can also be seen graphically, in the attached image, where the red parabola corresponds to the function f(x) = 2x² – 5x + 3 and the blue one to the parabola f(x) = 2x² – 5x + 1.

In conclusion, the parabola is translated down 2 units.
