Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.

Answer: x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

x−3−2(x+6)=−5

x+−3+(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)=−5(Distribute)

x+−3+−2x+−12=−5

(x+−2x)+(−3+−12)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−15=−5

−x−15=−5

−x−15+15=−5+15

−x=10
