Solution: x^2-5xy+4y
P.S
get the photo math app. :)
Hope that helps.
So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Right? That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this case. We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b. a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.
So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c. We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.
39^2 + 40^2 = x^2
I'll let you take it from there.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. what is the unit rate?
Answer:
2.5 square feet per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Area covered by a machine = 
Time taken to cover the given area = 
Now, unit rate of the first quantity with respect to second quantity is the magnitude of the first quantity being when the second quantity is one unit.
Here, the first quantity is the area covered and the second quantity is the time taken.
So, unit rate is the area covered by the machine in 1 hour.
In order to find that, we use the unitary method and divide the area by the total time taken. Therefore,

Thus, the unit rate is 2.5 square feet per hour.
Answer:
yes that is correct. Do you have a question about it?
