Answer: x = 5

------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------

Explanation:

We have a right triangle as indicated by the square angle marker. Two of the sides are known: specifically the hypotenuse (13) and one of the legs (12). The other leg (x) is unknown.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x

a = 12 is one of the known legs
b = x is the unknown leg
c = 13 is the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + x^2 = 13^2
144 + x^2 = 169
144 + x^2-144 = 169-144 ... subtract 144 from both sides
x^2 = 25
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(25)  ... apply square root to both sides
x = 5 

Side Note: Keep in mind that x can't be negative so it doesn't make sense to use the plus/minus here. We'll only stick with the positive version.

Two angles are complementary and the measure of one is 36
marysya [2.9K]
Answer:The angles are 63 degrees and 27 degrees
This is true because when you subtract 27 from 63 you get 36. And when you add 27 to 63 you get 90 aka the complimentary angle we’re looking for.

3x^2-14x=5<br> Show work too
NemiM [27]

Move all terms to one sides

3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 0

Split the second term in 3x^2 - 14x - 5 into two terms

3x^2 + x - 15x - 5 = 0

Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;

x(3x + 1) - 5(3x + 1) = 0

Factor out the common term 3x + 1

(3x + 1)(x - 5) = 0

Solve for x;

<u>x = -1/3, 5</u>
