Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to find the value of x.
Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.
short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25
x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")
x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root
x = 15
I think its the second choice
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 9 friends with 4 or 5 pets so, you subtract 9-4 because there are 4 friends with 2 or 3 = 5 because the question is asking how many more.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) set up the variables
Let x represent the first number Then y will represent the second number.
b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?
c) Solve the equation.
<u>Substitute x in the second equation and solve for y:</u>
- x + y = 51
- 2y + y = 51
- 3y = 51
- y = 51/3
- y = 17
<u>Then find x</u>
