7x + 17 = 7x - 17
7x + 17 - 7x = 7x - 17 - 7x
17 = -17
Inconsistent: for no value of x is the above equation true. 17 ≠ -17.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
between (1, 9) and (10, 8), the x moves by 9 and y moves by -1

Answer:
56"
Step-by-step explanation:
One way is by using the same number
<u>ΔACB</u> <u>ΔCDA</u>
AC² + BC² = AB² AD² + CD² = AC²
BC² = AB² - AC² BC² + CD² = AC² (AD=BC is given)
BC² = AC² - CD²
AB² - AC² = AC² - CD² (both sides were = to BC²)
AB² + CD² = 2AC²
(3)² + (√2)² = 2AC² (AB=3 and CD=√2 were given)
9 + 2 = 2AC²
11 = 2AC²
= AC²
= AC
= AC
