avanturin [10]3 years ago

It might have been helpful to you to have drawn this triangle first, and then labeled the sides.  I will have to assume that the length of the hypotenuse is c = 7, so that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 = 7^2 = 49.

if b = 6a, then this equation becomes a^2 + (6a)^2 = 49.
Simplifying, a^2 + 36a^2 = 49

37a^2 = 49

a^2 = 49/37

a = plus or minus 7 / sqrt(37), or plus or minus 7sqrt(37)/37.

Then b = 6a = 6(7)sqrt(37)/37.  Simplify this to obtain the answer.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

1. Re-writing an equation to remove all the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Backtracking is the procedure required for solving problems that has series of parts combined as one. It involves the retracing each part after one or two parts has been solved to solve the whole problem.

In mathematics when given an equation with variables, the solution can be obtained by calculating the values of each variable. To determine the final solution sometimes requires substitution procedure.

The best option that describe backtracking in maths-sense is; re-writing an equation to remove all the variables.
