Answer:
x =10
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the pythagoras theorem om one of the right triangle;
(√74)² = (x/2)²+7²
74 = (x/2)²+49
(x/2)² = 74 - 49
(x/2)² = 25
Square root both sides
√ (x/2)² = ±√25
x/2 = ±5
x = 2 * ±5
x = ±10
Hence the value of x is 10
Problem
Is 4.55 and 1.23456 a rational number
Solution
4.55 can be written as:
455/100 so then it could be a rational number
For the second number we have: 1.23456
And we can write this number as:
123456/100000
So then is also ratioanl

Answer:
Cost =$3
Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24 + 51
Required
Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual
24 + 51
[Factorize]
3(8 + 17)
The above can't be factored any further.
Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.
Cost = $3
This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets
Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
