Answer:
<h2>C. x = 6</h2>
Step-by-step explanation
since we have a right triangle then we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
x² + 8² =10²
⇒ x² = 10² - 8²
⇒ x² = 36
⇒ x² = 6²
⇒ x = 6 (because x is positive)
Answer:
x = 29 , b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>5 = b + 8</u>
5 - 8 = b
-3 = b
b = -3
<u>2x + 3b = 156</u>
156 / 3 = 52
52 / 2 = 26
x + b = 26
26 + 3 = 29
x = 29
x² - 4x + 8 → there are 3 terms (remember to include the sign with each term)
term 1: x²
term 2: -4x
term 3: 8
