24 units by 15 units. divide both numbers by 5
Always true because addition and subtraction is commutative
-6.2-(-3.96) = -2.24
-3.96-(-6.2)= -2.24
5.71+2.84=8.55
2.84+5.71=8.55
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
0.5 pounds of butter.
Explanation
X pounds for 0.25 gallons.
0.5 gallon of cream - 1 pound of butter
0.25 gallons of cream - X pounds of butter
Applying cross multiplication:
0.5X = 0.25
X = 0.25 over 0.5 or 0.25/0.5
X = 0.5
Therefor, you could make 0.5 pounds of butter with 0.25 gallons of cream.
Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.
Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20
Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive
The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.
