Use Pythagorean Theorem which states that in a right triangle:
, where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.
Take the square root of both sides to solve for x.
The answer is 26.
Answer:
The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable. We do this by performing the inverse of each operation on both sides of the equation.
Reverse addition and subtraction (by subtracting and adding) outside parentheses. Reverse multiplication and division (by dividing and multiplying) outside parentheses. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, flip the inequality sign. It does not matter if the number being divided is positive or negative
It's necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals signs so that you can solve for the variable and balance the equation.
Multi-step inequalities are solved using the same processes that work for solving equations with one exception. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol. (Much like when you divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must flip! Here's why: When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side!)
A table will generally give you an output value for each of several input values. To find the average rate of change over some range of inputs, divide the difference between output values by the difference between input values for the corresponding inputs.
For example, consider the table
input .... output
.. 1 ............ 3
.. 3 ........... -5
The average rate of change between these input values is
... (change in output)/(change in input) = (-5 -3)/(3 - 1) = -8/2 = -4.
Simplifying that expression will be
32m + 56mp = 8m (4 + 7p)
