We can use a modified form of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of x, also known as side b.
Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We can fill in the values of a^2 and c^2, and then solve for b.
14^2 + b^2 = 25^2
196 + b^2 = 625
Subtract 196 from both sides.
b^2 = 429
√ both sides.
b = 20.7
<h3>The value of x, or b, is equal to 20.7.</h3>
<h2>x = 1/4</h2><h2>y = -2</h2><h2>______________</h2>
<h2>Known : </h2>
y = -8x
4x - y = 3
<h2>Asked: </h2>
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations ?
<h2>Answered:</h2>
<h3>Substitution y</h3>
4x - y = 3
4x - (-8x) = 3
4x + 8x = 3
12x = 3
x = 3/12
x = 1/4
<h3>
Substitution x</h3>
4x - y = 3
4(1/4) - y = 3
4/4 - y = 3
1 - y = 3
-y = 3 - 1
-y = 2
y = -2
Answer:
he would have had to run 20 more feet then Juan
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 18 = 42
3x = 42 + 18
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
0.05 ---> 1/18
square root of 0.25 ------> 0.05
1/7------> 0.142857 repeating
0.6 -------> 2/3
