Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2 -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15

x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x -3)

3x - 9 = 3(x - 3)

and

Common denominator would be 6(x+3)(x - 3)

Answer: 6(x+3)(x - 3)

Simplify: ((x-5)3/2)^2/3<br> X-5<br> (x - 5)^2<br> (x – 5^)3

netineya [11]

Answer:

x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$((x - 5) {}^{ \frac{3}{2} } ) {}^{ \frac{2}{3} }$

$(x - 5) {}^{ \frac{3}{2} } { \times }^{ \frac{2}{3} }$

$(x - 5) {}^{ \frac{6}{6} }$

$(x - 5) {}^{1}$

Therefore x - 5

the graph of a line has a slope of -2/3 and a y intercept of (0,2). rewrite the equation in standard for (Ax+By=C) with a positi

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

obtain the equation in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and c = 2

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x + 2 ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fraction

3y = - 2x + 6 ( add 2x to both sides )

2x + 3y = 6 ← in standard form

6-2x=3+5x <br> Solve for x

evablogger [386]

Answer:

x=3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6-2x=3+5x

subtract 5x from both sides

6-2x-5x=3

subtract 6 from both sides

-2x-5x=3-6

add like terms

-7x=-3

divide both sides by -7

x=3/7
