A number a decreased by 7 is 2.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

Hope this helps!

A=. B= 2.6 c=6.2 using Pythagorean Theron what is a?

Kryger [21]

Hello!
So you will use the Pythagorean Theron equation which is Asquare + bsquare=C square
Plug in what you are given to find the missing piece

A square+ (2.6)square= (6.2) square
Asquare+ 6.76= 38.44
(Subtract 6.76to both sides to isolate A)
Asquare= 31.68
(Take the square root of both sides to find out what A is)
A=5.628
