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

How do i solve for y:<br> 2x-3y=8<br><br> Please help me
Mademuasel [1]
You have to leave Y by itself in one side. To do that, you need to subtract 2x from both sides. You're now left with -3y = 8-2x. Last step is that you divide 3y, 8, and -2 by -3. 

Good luck :)

Lines DE and AB intersect at point C.<br>What is the value of x?<br>12<br>25<br>38<br>52​
aniked [119]

Answer:

(B)25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram:

\angle ACE$ and \angle ECB are on a straight line, and we know by the Linear Postulate that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

Therefore:

\angle ACE$ + \angle ECB=180^\circ$ (Linear Postulate)\\(2x+2)^\circ+(5x+3)^\circ=180^\circ\\$Collect like terms\\2x+5x+2+3=180\\7x+5=180\\$Subtract 5 from both sides\\7x+5-5=180-5\\7x=175\\$Divide both sides by 7\\7x\div 7=175\div 7\\x=25^\circ

The correct option is B.
