The legs of a right triangle measure 3x and 15. If the hypotenuse measures 3x + 3, what is the value of x?

The answer is <span>b.12
</span>
According to the Pythagorean theorem the square of the hypotenuse (c) is the sum of the squares of the legs (a and b):
 c² = a² + b²

We have:
a = 3x
b = 15
c = 3x + 3

Now, let's replace these parameters:
c² = a² + b²
(3x + 3)² = (3x)² + 15²
(3x)² + 2 * 3x * 3 + 3² = 9x² + 225
9x² + 18x + 9 = 9x² + 225

Rearrange:
9x² - 9x² + 18x = 225 - 9
18x = 216
x = 216 / 18 = 12

Y=25x+35
kow [346]

Answer:

The equation is in the form y=mx+b, where m=slope, b=y-intercept.

The y-intercept is 35: so the line goes through the y-axis at (0,35).

The slope is 25: so we need to count out the slope as rise over run, or 25 up and 1 to the right, starting from the y-intercept.

Simora [160]

Answer:

4 minutes - |12 x 4 = 48|    |48 + 14 = 62|    Charles = 62

10 x 4 = 40|     40 + 22 = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has 14 all we have to do is keep multiplying 12 by x and 10 by x add them to their correct person until Charles has more eggs broken then Louis

IM STRUGGLING HELP <br> What is the equation of the line in the form y=Mx+b
Andrej [43]

y=3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

point 1 (2;12)

point 2 (4;18)

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m =  \frac{18 - 12}{4 - 2}

m =  \frac{6}{2}

m=3

y=mx+b

sub in a point and gradient

12=3(2)+b

12=6+b

b=6

y=3x+6
