Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
B but I'm not as sure though
41
3 times 9 is 27
27+14=41
Answer: -2x (x+3) (x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation: 5 23 8 03
the lenght of the longer leg of a right triangle is 9 ft longer than the lenght of the shorter leg x. The hypotenuse is 9 ft shorter than twice the lenght of the shorter leg.
shorter leg = x
longer leg = x + 9
hypotenuse = 2x - 9
Pythagorean theorem = a² + b² = c²
shorter-leg² + longer-leg² = hypotenuse²
x² + (x+9)² = (2x - 9)² solve for x
x² + (x+9) (x+9) = (2x - 9)(2x - 9)
x² + (x²+18x+81) = (4x² - 36x + 81)
(2x²+18x+81) = (4x² - 36x + 81)
0 = 2x² -54x
0 = x(2x - 54)
0 = x and 0 = 2x -54
54 = 2x
27 = x
shorter leg = 27
longer leg = 36
hypotenuse = 45
divided all the values by 9 and you get a 3, 4, 5 right triangle, so the answer checks correct
