The Pythagorean Theorem states that for right triangles:

a^2=b^2+c^2

a= the hypotenuse

b and c equals the other two sides.

In this case we are given the hypotenuse so we can rearrange the equation to look like this b^2=a^2-c^2 (I subtracted c^2 from both sides). I know a and c so I can solve for b.

We get rid of a square by implementing a square root on both sides and get:

b=sqrt(a^2-c^2) .... b=sqrt( (sqrt(34))^2 - 3^2)

b= sqrt(25) ..... b=5

What is the solution to this equation? 5(x - 6) + 4 = 7x - 4
dimaraw [331]

5(x - 6) + 4 = 7x - 4

5x - 30 + 4 = 7x - 4

5x - 26 = 7x - 4

5x - 26 + 4 = 7x

5x - 22 = 7x

-22 = 7x - 5x

-22 = 2x

-22 / 2 = x

-11 = x

x = -11 is the solution to the given equation

A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The number of plums = 4

The number of peaches =  16

The number of nectarines =  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of peaches be = x

Let the number of nectarines be = y

Let the number of plums be = z

A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that

The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.

i.e x = 4z

The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that

Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3

i.e y = z - 3

If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.

Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21

4z + z-3 + z = 21

6z =21 +3

z = 24/6

z = 4

Therefore, the number of plums = 4

The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16

The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1
