I think what you need to do is make B = -5
3a = -2(-5) - 7
3a = 10 - 7
3a = 3
a = 1

Note angles not necessarily drawn to scale

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles CGE and 30° are vertical angles.

Thus, Angle CGE is thus 30°.

Angle CGE and Angle x are complementary, so x = 90° - 30° = 60°

3. What three numbers are the Pythagorean triple generated by using 4 for x and 1 for y. Remember to use the formulas:

Doss [256]

Given:

Consider the three number are given by:

$a=x^2-y^2$

$b=2xy$

$c=x^2+y^2$

To find:

The three numbers are the Pythagorean triple generated by using 4 for x and 1 for y.

Solution:

We have,

$a=x^2-y^2$

$b=2xy$

$c=x^2+y^2$

Substituting 4 for x and 1 for y, we get

$a=4^2-1^2$

$a=16-1$

$a=15$

Similarly,

$b=2(4)(1)$

$b=8$

And,

$c=4^2+1^2$

$c=16+1$

$c=17$

The three three numbers are the Pythagorean triple are 8,15 and 17.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Parallel never cross
perpendicular is a 90 degree angle
its neither if its not 90 degree or never crossing
