I might be bad at explaining or even wrong, but i tried. so here it goes.
2 is subtracted from a number (we'll put N for the missing number) and the difference is divided by 3. so i thought the difference was the final answer so i divided 30 by 3.
my equation came out to 2-n=30/3
so from there i did basic algebra.
i added the N to both sides so i came up with 2=30/3+N (so i wouldn't have a negative variable) and the divided 30/3 so then i had 2=90+N.
still with me? i hope so...
so then i subtracted 90 from both sides to get the variable alone and ended with -88=N.
so if you put N in you get 2-(-88)=30/3
you subtract 2 from -88 and get 90. so now you have 90/3 with equals 30.

Find the unknown side length x. ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = \sqrt{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)

Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

4^{2} + 7^{2} = x^{2}

16 + 49 = x^{2}

65 = x^{2}

x = sq rt 65

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below? five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the su
Umnica [9.8K]
The phrase has two parts:

Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the sum of the number and eight

Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:

5(x + 11)

Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:

3(x + 8)

So, the overall expression will be:

\frac{5(x+11)}{3(x+8)}
