You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Answer:
x = -8
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 7y = 9
2x - 3y = -37
1.) First, multiply each side to match either y-values or x-values. (In this example, we'll use match x-values)
10x + 14y = 18 (multiplied by 2)
10x - 15y = -185 (multiplied by 5)
2.) Then, subtract the entirety of one equation to isolate the y-value.
10x + 14y = 18
-10x + 15y = 185
3.) Add and subtract values and divide to find y.
29y = 203
y = 7
4.) Plug-in y to solve for x into one equation, or repeat steps 1-3.
15x + 21y = 27
14x - 21y = -259
29x = -232
x = -8
Answer:
About 4 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
36.12 is founded to 36. 36 oz /9 milkshakes is 4oz per milkshake.
(5,5), (-5,5) is a function. To be a function x
cannot be repeated.
