Answer:

-⅗ = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what you get when you distribute the -2 on the left side of the equivalence symbol and combine like-terms on the right side of the equivalence symbol:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

Here is the solution:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

-3x -3x

----------------

-5x - 4 = -1

4 +4

----------------

-5x = 3

----- -----

-5 -5

x = -⅗

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.<br> 13<br> 5<br> х

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used. The Pythagorean theorem states that $C^2=a^2+b^2$ where C is the hypotenuse and a and b are legs. In this question, we are given a and C. So, plugin 13 for C and 5 for a and solve for b. Once you rearrange the equation you get, $b=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}$ . Next, solve what is under the root to get, $b=\sqrt{144}$ . Finally, square root 144 for the final answer b=12.
