X = 9 . to find this out, you need to plug in the given info into a^2 + b^2 = c^2 .. so we have a^2 + 6^2 = 117. Which is a^2 + 36 = 117. so we need to get a by itself. to do so, subtract 36 from both sides to get a^2 = 81. Lastly, we need to find the square root of both sides. the square root of a^2 is a, and the square root of 81 is 9. which leaves us with a = 9

Ahmad drove 638 miles in 11 hours. At the same rate, how long would it take him to drive 522 miles?
ikadub [295]
It would take him 9 hours to drive 522 miles since if you divide 638 with 11 you would get 58 and if you divide 522 with 58 you'll get 9.

If 2x – 3 + 3x = – 27, what is the value of x?
aksik [14]

Answer:

x = -24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 3 + 3x = – 27

Combine like terms

5x -3 = -27

Add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = -27+3

5x = -24

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = -24/5

x = -24/5

An equation is shown below: 9(3x – 16) + 15 = 6x – 24 Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain ea
Goryan [66]
9(3x - 16) + 15 = 6x - 24

First distribute 9 to 3x and -16.

27x - 144 + 15 = 6x - 24

Combine like terms. (-144 + 15)

27x - 129 = 6x - 24

Get the variable, x, on one side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting 6x from both sides.

21x - 129 = -24

Add 129 to both sides to isolate x.

21x = 105

Divide 21 off of both sides to find the value of x.

x = 5

You can plug x into the equation to check your answer.

9(3 x 5 - 16) + 15 = 6(5) - 24
6 = 6
