Answer:  The length of last piece is 30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of one leg = 18 inches

Length of other leg = 2 feet = 24 inches

As it is in the right triangle.

H^2=P^2+B^2\\\\H^2=18^2+24^2\\\\H^2=900\\\\H=\sqrt{900}\\\\H=30

Hence, the length of last piece is 30 inches.

6x-9=4x-15 fill in the blank math ? please help
Vlad [161]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do t one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

Isolate the x. First, add 9 and subtract 4x from both sides:

6x (-4x) - 9 (+9) = 4x (-4x) - 15 (+9)

6x - 4x = -15 + 9

Combine like terms:

6x - 4x = -15 + 9

2x = -6

Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2x)/2 = (-6)/2

x = -6/2

x = -3

x = -3 is your answer.

~

Important things to note:

- PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals Parenthesis, Exponents (& Roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

- If there is an equal sign and the same variable on both sides, you are trying to isolate that variable.

- Remember to follow the division rule. If you are dividing two negative numbers, your answer will be positive. If you are multiplying two negative numbers, your answer will be positive. If you are dividing or multiplying one positive and one negative number, your answer will be negative.
