Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m

x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24

Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30

Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 65% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure anti
Murrr4er [49]

With amounts measured in gallons, let

x = amount of 65% antifreeze

y = amount of 90% antifreeze

1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.

To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have

x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]

0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]

Solve the first equation for y :

y = 120 - x

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :

0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96

0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96

0.25x = 12

x = 48

Solve for y :

y = 120 - 48

y = 72

jonny [76]

Answer:

Before we graph y = -\frac{1}{2}x, we know that the slope, mx, could be read as \frac{rise}{run}. To graph the the equation of the line, we begin at the point (0,0). From that point, because our rise is negative (-1), instead of moving upwards or vertically, we will move downards. Therefore, from point 0, we will vertically move downwards one time. Now, our point is on point -1 on the y-axis. Now, we have 2 as our run. From point -1, we move to the right two times. We land on point (2,-1). Because we need various points to graph this equation, we must continue on. In the end, the graph will look like the first graph given.

For the equation y = 2, the line will be plainly horizontal. Why? Because x has no value in the equation. The variable x does not exist in this linear equation. Therefore, it will look like the second graph below. We graph this by plotting the point, (0,2), on the y-axis.
