A new pipeline is being created to shorten the distance it has to travel to get from point A to point B. The original pipeline r

an at a 90 angle from point A to point B and was 20 miles on one side and 15 miles on the other. The new pipeline go straight from A to B. How much shorter will the new pipeline be?

<span>so use pythagorean theorem where
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are legs
c=hypotonuse
in a right triangle

90 degrees=right riangle
so we have 20 and 15
these are the legs
subsitute
20^2+15^2=c^2
400+225=c^2
add
625=c^2
square root both sides
25=c
new pipe=25
how much shorter
old=20+15=35
how much shorter is 25 than 35
35-25=10
answer is 10 miles</span>

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 3x=15?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordinarily, one would not need the distributive property to solve this equation. It is quickly and easily solved by making use of the multiplication property of equality: multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3.

  3x(1/3) = 15(1/3)

  x = 5

___

To use the <em>distributive property</em>, we need the sum of two terms that have a common factor. We can get that form by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation (subtraction property of equality):

  3x - 15 = 15 - 15 . . . . subtract 15

  3x -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . .simplify

Now, we can apply the distributive property to remove a factor of 3:

  3(x -5) = 0

And we can use the multiplication property of equality to multiply by 1/3:

  3(1/3)(x -5) = 0(1/3)

  x -5 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Finally, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation (addition property of equality):

  x -5 +5 = 0 +5

  x + 0 = 5 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . .simplify more
