17x-2=7x+8

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
17x-2=7x+8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+17x-7x=+8+2

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+10x=+10

We divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get x.
x=1

Solve 17x - 2 = 7x + 8
Subtract 7x to both sides
17x - 2 - 7x = 7x +8 -7x
Simplify
10x-2=8
Now, add 2 to both sides
10x - 2 +2 = 8 +2
Simplify
10x = 10
x = 10/10
x = 1

Is a triangle with the given side lengths of 15cm, 17cm, and 19cm a right triangle?

Alexandra [31]

Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.

Answer:

Addition Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

When two equations are given and two variables are unknown in both equations, then we can solve the system in several ways.

One method consists in adding both equations term by term and eliminate one of the variables. That property is called the addition of equalities. Let's consider the equations given in the problem:

$5x+4y=-2\\2x-4y=6$
