Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.  The sides touching the right angle are the legs

Since this is right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2+b^2 = 5^2

9+b^2 = 25

Subtract 9 from each side

9-9+b^2 = 25-9

b^2 =16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(16)

b=4

A system of linear equations in two variables can have _____ solutions
valina [46]
If the lines are parallel (have the same slope but different intercepts) . . .
     no solution, because they never cross.

If the lines have different slopes . . .
     one solution, because they have exactly one common point.   

If the lines have the same slope and the same intercept . . .
     infinitely many solutions, because every point on one line is also a point on
     the other line, one lays right on top of the other, and when you look at them on
     the graph, it looks like only one line.

10. When you add the same number to both sides of an inequality, is the inequality still true? Explain how you know your stateme
avanturin [10]

The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?

3 < 6

3 + 5 < 6 + 5

8 < 11

The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.
