If AB = BC then set up the equation 3x - 4 = 5x - 10
Subtract 3x.
-4 = 2x - 10
Add 10.
6 = 2x
Divide by 2.
3 = x
AB is 3x - 4 so
3(3) - 4
9 - 4
5.
AB = 5
If AB is not equal to BC then this is not solvable.
But if they are I am sure AB = 5.
Hope this helps
A mixed number is a number that has a whole number, and a fraction, so the mixed number that is equal to 7.6 is 7 6/10, simplified it would be 7 3/5
Answer:
the claw game would give you a better %
Step-by-step explanation
when turned into a percent 1:49 becomes 2.040816326531% compared to the claw game that would give you a 30% chance of wining
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Two negatives is a positive so the equation is Z+3/4=13/2
-3/4
Z=26/4-3/4
Z=23/4
