Answer:

A-does not exist  

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorian theorem :

  • 12²+x²= (x-2)²
  • 144+x²= x²-4x+4
  • 144-4+x²-x²= -4x
  • 140 = -4x
  • x = 140/-4
  • x= -35

That's absurd . A side cannot be negative since it's a distance

It was obvious from the beginning since one of the sides is greater than the hypotenus wich is impossible x≥x-2

Answer:

A. does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can find the value of x using Phytagorian Theorem

(x-2)^2 = 12^2 + x^2

x^2 -4x + 4 = 144 + x^2 (x^2 will be eliminated)

-4x = 144

x = -36 since the side lengths cannot be negative we select the option A which says it doesn't exist.

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see
topjm [15]

Answer: (f)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Line that passes through (-\frac{1}{2},3) and (0,0)

Using two point form, equation of a line is given by

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Insert the values

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-0}{x-0}=\dfrac{3-0}{-\frac{1}{2}-0}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{x}=-6\\\\\Rightarrow y=-6x

Thus, option (f) is correct

What’s the length of a box with a volume of 720 cubic inches, a width of 15 inches, and a height of 4 inches? (Hint: Isolate the
Tom [10]

Box volume = height * width * length.  In this problem we want the length, so we solve the given equation for length:

                 720 in^3

length = -------------------- = 12 in

               (15 in)(4 in)

The box is 12 inches long.

If you multiply a number by 3 and divide by 4 the result is 24. what is the number?
solong [7]
To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation.  Let the number that we are trying to find be represented by the variable x.  If we plug in the numbers that we know, we get the following equation:

3x/4 = 24

To simplify this equation, we need to multiply both sides by 4, to begin getting the x alone on the left side of the equation.

3x = 96

Finally, we need to divide both sides by 3, to get rid of the coefficient that is being multiplied to x.

x = 32

Therefore, the number that you are trying to find is 32.

X = number of cds on the rack

x + 7 = 30
x = 30 - 7
x = 23 <== so there are currently 23 cds on the rack
