I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
This is not middle school work
6^2 = x (x - 9)
x^2 - 9x - 36 = 0
(x -12)(x + 3) = 0
x - 12 = 0; x = 12
x +3 = 0; x = -3
so in this case x = 12 then DC = 12 - 9 = 3
y^2 = 12^2 - 6^2
y^2 = 144 - 36
y^2 = 108
y = 10.4
