Assuming x represents the length of the first side.

Use Pythagorean theorem to solve: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.

At the end, you will get side lengths of #(-14 ± 34) / 4, or -12 and 5

SInce a negative triangle length is impossible, 5 is the value of x and 5 + 7 is the value of x + 7, which makes 12.

The formula for area of a right triangle is A = B H/2

After doing your work you should get. 30cm^2

Solve by elimination and check. 2x+5y= 46. 3x-2y=12<br> Pls pls pls

Answer:

x = 8, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 46______(1)

3x - 2y = 12_______(2)

(1) x 3 --> 6x + 15y = 138

(2) x 2 --> 6x -4y = 24

(1) - (2) --> 19y = 114

y = 6 sub into (2)

3x - (2 x 6) = 12

3x = 24

x = 8

which is the equation for the linear function f in the form f(x) = mx + b that has the given values? f(-2) = - 8, f(3) = 7

Xelga [282]

The information we have is:

$\begin{gathered} f(-2)=-8 \\ f(3)=7 \end{gathered}$

So we can find that two coordinates are ( -2,-8 ) and ( 3,7 ) so we can use the equation to find the slope so:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{7-(-8)}{3-(-2)} \\ m=\frac{15}{5} \\ m=3 \end{gathered}$

So the equation now will be:

$y=3x+b$

So we can replace one coordinate to find b so:

$\begin{gathered} 7=3(3)+b \\ 7=9+b \\ 7-9=b \\ -2=b \end{gathered}$

So the final equation is:

$y=3x-2$
