  You use the pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. The theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, where c^2 is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle, or the side that's the longest and is opposite the right angle of the right triangle. Note that this theorem is applicable because a wall has right angles and it is assumed that the diagonal brace would form a right triangle (the diagonal brace is the hypotenuse). Next, you substitute the values of 9 and 12 for a and b, and then you proceed to solve this algebraically to get c after taking the square roots of both sides of the equation to get c from c^2.

Rob ran 27.2 miles less than Jasmine last week. Rob ran 10 miles. How many miles did Jasmine run?
jeka94

Answer:

Jasmine ran last week 37.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of miles Rob ran last week

y ----> number of miles Jasmine ran last week

we know that

x=y-27.2 ----> equation A

x=10 ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

10=y-27.2

y=10+27.2

y=37.2 miles

Can someone help me out ? Don't just guess the answer :(
Monica [59]
1) 2m+6 / m² + 7m - 12  +  (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2(m+3) / (m+4)(m+3)  + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2/(m+4) + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2+m+2 / (m+4)

= m+4 / m+4

= 1  [ Option A ]

Answer 2) 3/ (x+4)  + 7/ (x-3)

=  3(x-3) + 7(x+4)/ (x² +x - 12)

= 3x-9 + 7x + 28 / (x² +x - 12)

= 10x + 19 / (x² +x - 12)  [ Option A ]

Hope this helps!
