Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m
x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24
Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30
Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900
Okay. In order to do this problem, you really need to condense it down to the hour. Since this is in months we want to find the hourly rate of pay. If you take her monthly salary and divide it by the monthly job hours, you are able to find the hourly rate of pay, which is $10 an hour.
Wne solved they have different answers
35 - 15 = 20
and
43 - 26 = 17
1/2X+4=X-4
1/2X+8=X
8=1/2X
16=X
(Pick one of the equations )
y=1/2X+4
y=(1/2)(16)+4
y=12
point: (16,12)
