First we have to eliminate the parenthesis, by multiplying 2 with both numbers
3a+8a-2=9
11a-2=9 we will add 2 on both sides
11a=11 divide by 11
a=1

3a + 2(4a - 1) = 9.

Distributive property.

3a + 8a - 2 = 9

Combine like terms.

11a - 2 = 9

subtract +2 on both sides.

11a - 2 = 9
+2 +2

Find x on this special right triangle

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know than Tan45=1

Tanx=opp/adj

tan45=y/(7 $\sqrt{2}$ )/2

Thus y=7 $\sqrt{2}$ /2

We know by pythagoras theorem that hyp^2=side^2+side^2

$x^{2}$ =( $(7\sqrt{2} /2)^{2}$ + $(7\sqrt{2}/2)^{2}$

$x^{2}$ =(49(2)/4)+(49(2)/4)

$x^{2}$ =(49/2)+(49/2)

$x^{2}$ =(98/2)

$x^{2}$ =49

x=7
