Answer:

x - 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the data provided is as follows

The area of the triangle with x^2 - 4

And, the leg has 2x + 4

Based on the above information, the length of the triangle other leg is

Let us assume

y = other leg lengths

So, the area of a triangle = = \frac{1}{2} \times b\times h

Now

x^2 - 4 = \frac{1}{2} (2x+4)y

(x-2)(x+2) = \frac{1}{2} 2(x+2)y

So,

(x-2)(x+2) = (x+2)y

And, finally

x - 2 = y

Therefore the length of other leg is x - 2 units

Mai and Tyler work on the equation 2/5b+1=-11 together. Mais soulution is b=-25 and Tyler’s is b=-28. Here is their work. Do you
Anika [276]

Answer:

No I don't agree with their solution; both their answers are wrong.

Correct answer is b=-30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Now given:

According to Mai b = -25 and According to Tyler b = -28

Now we need to find which of them is correct.

So we will solve the given equation we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Subtracting both side by 1 we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1-1=-11-1\\\\\frac{2}{5}b =-12

Now Multiplying both side \frac{5}{2} we get;

\frac{2}{5}b\times\frac{5}{2}= -12 \times \frac{5}{2}\\\\b=-6\times 5\\\\b=-30

Hence both of them are incorrect, correct answer is b=-30.
