Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option  (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: a^2+b^2=c^2

Thus:

\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=c

Option A:

\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17 → 17 = 17 OK!

Option B:

\sqrt{6^2+8^2}  = 10 → 10 ≠ 12 NO

Option C:

\sqrt{9^2+11^2} = [tex]\sqrt{202}[/tex] → \sqrt{202} ≠ 21 NO

Option D:

\sqrt{4^2+13^2} = \sqrt{185} → \sqrt{185} ≠ 16 NO

The expression 4x(2x+7)-5(3x-2) simplifies to
Burka [1]
So step one is to distribute the 4x through and the -5 through. After distributing you get 8x^{2}+28x-15x+10. Combine the like terms, 28x and -15x, to get 13x. Your answer is 8x^{2}+13x+10

A:
add up all the money he deposited
3.98+51.02+38.52+12.70=$106.22
and all the money withdrew:
-5.23-5.22-3.50-4.39=-18.34

b-
3.50, 3.98, 4.39, 5.22, 5.23, 12.7 38.52 51.02
just look at the digits from left to right the bigger they are the bigger the number is.if they were equal look at the next digit:
example:
3.50 and 12.7
there is a 1 in 12.7 tenth place but 3.50 doesn't even have a tenth place(or rather, it has a zero on it's tenth place) so 12.7 is bigger than 3.50

c-add all deposits and subtract all withdrawals:
106.22+98-18.34=185.88
