Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A right triangle whose legs has lengths equal to 10 inches and 9x inches and Its hypotenuse measures (x + 10) inches.

According to the pythagoras theorem, sum of square of the legs of a right angle triangle equals the square of hypotenuse.

so, 10²+(9x)²=(x+10)²

i.e. 100+81x²=x²+100+20x

      80x²-20x=0

   20x(4x-1)=0

so, either x=0 or x=1/4

x=0 is not possible since length of one leg is 9x and it can't be zero

Hence, x=1/4 i.e. x+10=10+1/4

                                  = 10.25

so, approximate length of hypotenuse=10.25 inches

3(x+1)-6=5x - 2(1+x)
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

-3 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x + 1) - 6 = 5x - 2 (1 + x)

3x + 3 - 6 = 5x - 2 - 2x

3x - 3 = 5x - 2 - 2x

3x - 3 = 3x - 2

= -3 = -2

Which line on the graph represents the equation y=3x-2
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Line A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put x as zero into 3x-2, you get 3(0)-2. That equals -2. Therefore, y = -2. When x=0, that is the y-intercept, so the y-intercept is -2. Line A crosses the y-axis at -2, so line A has that y-intercept.

Slope is always y/x. On a graph, that is the number of squares UP over the number of squares ACROSS. Counting, we get, 3 squares up over 1 square across for line A. 3/1= 3. The slope is the number we multiply by x. In the equation, that is 3, because we see 3x, and no sign or space between 2 numbers automatically means we multiply. So line A also has the correct slope.

In linear equations (straight lines), the same slope and y-intercept are enough to tell you that the equation matches the line.

Therefore, the answer is A!
