Answer:

x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

7(4+x)=8-3x would be your equation

your first step would be to move your 3x to the other side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides after this your equation should look as follows: 7(4+x)+3x=8 2nd: you should distribute your 7 to the numbers inside of the parenthsis and combine like terms to get 10x+28=8 then you move your 28 to the other side by subracting 28 and you will get 10x=-20 divide by ten to get the answer which is x=-2

The sides of a triangle have lengths of x, x + 5, and 25. If the longest side is 25, which of the following values of x would ma

Amiraneli [1.4K]

In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

$x^2+(x+5)^2=25^2 \\
x^2+x^2+10x+25=625 \\
2x^2+10x+25=625 \ \ \ |-625 \\
2x^2+10x-600=0 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x^2+5x-300=0 \\
x^2+20x-15x-300=0 \\
x(x+20)-15(x+20)=0 \\
(x-15)(x+20)=0 \\
x-15=0 \ \lor \ x+20=0 \\
x=15 \ \lor \ x=-20
$

The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.

Lexi, susie and rial are playing an online word game. Rial scores 100,034 points. Lexi scores 9,348 fewer points than rial and s

Troyanec [42]

To solve this problem, you first need to subtract 100,034-9,348. You do this because Lexi scored that many points LOWER than Rial. You then take the answer to that subtraction problem (90,696) and add 9,749 to that answer. You do this because Susie scored 9,749 MORE than Lexi. You should get 100,435. This is Susie's score, so your final answer is 100,435 points.
