Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30
My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)
1/7 (x - 3) = 5/7
1/7x - 3/7 = 5/7
1/7x - 3/7 + 3/7 = 5/7 + 3/7
1/7x = 8/7
1/7x(7) = 8/7(7)
X = 56/7
X = 8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Composition of two functions f(x) and g(x) is represented by,
(fog)(x) = f[g(x)]
If a function is,
f(x) = (-6x - 8)² [where x ≤
]
Another function is the inverse of f(x),

Now composite function of these functions will be,
![(fof^{-1})(x)=f[f^{-1}(x)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28fof%5E%7B-1%7D%29%28x%29%3Df%5Bf%5E%7B-1%7D%28x%29%5D)
= ![[-6(\frac{\sqrt{x}+8}{6})-8]^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B-6%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%2B8%7D%7B6%7D%29-8%5D%5E%7B2%7D)
= ![[-\sqrt{x}+8-8]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B-%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%2B8-8%5D%5E2)
= 
= x
Therefore, 
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side. Therefore, the tangent of angle x is 420/2000=0.21. Taking the arctangent of that to get the angle, you get about 12 degrees. Hope this helps!
Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2
The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.
If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,
