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

7b+3-4b=3-3(b+4) please solve and give work please.
vovangra [49]

Answer: 6 = - 2.

Step by step explanation:

Subtract 4b from 7b.

3b + 3 = 3 - 3 (b+4)

Simplify 3 - 3 (b+4).

3b + 3 = - 3b - 9

Move all terms containing b to the left side of the equation.

6b + 3 = - 9.

Move all terms not containing b to the right of the equation.

6b = - 12

Divide each term by 6 and simplify.

And, voila! You have your answer, 6 = - 2.
