Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a - a legc - a hypotenuse
c^2=a^2+a^2\\\\c^2=2a^2
We have:
c=a+9
Substitute:
(a+9)^2=2a^2
Use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
a^2+2\cdot a\cdot 9+9^2=2a^2\\\\a^2+18a+81=2a^2\ \ \ |-2a^2\\\\-a^2+18a+81=0\ \ \ |\cdot(-1)\\\\a^2-18a-81=0\ \ \ \ |+81\\\\a^2-18a=81\\\\a^2-2\cdot a\cdot9=81\ \ \ \ |+9^2\\\\a^2-2\cdot a\cdot9+9^2=81+9^2\\\\(a-9)^2=162\to a-9=\sqrt{162}\ \ \ |+9\\\\a=9+\sqrt{81\cdot2}\\\\a=9+9\sqrt2
Answer:9+9\sqrt2;\ 9+9\sqrt2;\ 18+9\sqrt2

PLZ HELP !!! ALGEBRA 1
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2 a. x= -2, x=10 2 b. x= -7, x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

move the -6 to the left to get

-7 x lx-4l = -42

divide both sides of the equation by -7

lx-4l = 6

separate into

x-4=6 and x-4= -6

solve by adding 4 to both sides

then on the other one add 4 to both sides

2b you do the same steps just different numbers
