-x^2 + 14 = 10
subtract 14 from each side
-x^2 = -4
divide each side by -1
x^2 =4
square root each side
x = 2
hope this helps!!! :)
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 = 12/blank.
well 12/4 is 3
3 * 5 is 15.
the blank is 15
Answer:
x = s, y = t, z = 8 -s -t
Step-by-step explanation:
It can work reasonably well to let s and t represent any of a pair of the variables. In the answer above, we have used x=s, y=t.
You could get more elaborate if you want:
x = 4-s, y = 4-t, z = s+t
There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
