Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. You are trying to find x which is c^2
so plug in the other numbers to the other letters. 9^2 + 17^2 = c^2
9^2= 81. 17^2= 289
81 + 289 = 370
370= c^2
Now all you have to do is square root the number
*square root sign* 370
19.24
c = 19.24
So, x = 19.24

What is the answer to this word problem or how would I solve it

USPshnik [31]

Its a simultaneous equation:
lets make "x" the used games and "y" the new ones

4x + 2y = 84
6x + y = 78. (multiply this by 2 to cancel out y)
12x + 2y = 156

so now we subtract them:
12x - 4x = 156 - 84
x = 9
used games cost $9
new games cost 78 - 6(9) = $24

Janet has $120 but she already bought 3 NEW games so:
120 - 3(24) = $48 left

48/9 = how many used ones she can buy = 5. something

she can buy 5 used

Which explanation correctly tells whether these ratios are equivalent and why?

Reptile [31]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<u>Option A (Yes because 3 x 2 = 6 and 14 x 2 = 28.) is correct.</u>

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

<u>This is because if we simplify 3/6 and 14/28, both of them will get 1/2. This means that only A and C are possible.</u>

=> Option A is correct because 3 x 2 does equal 6 and 14 x 2 does equal 28.
=> Option C is incorrect because 3 x 5 does not equal 14 and 6 x 5 does not equal 28.

Hoped this helped.
