20^2 + (x-8)^2 = x^2

x^2 = 400 + x^2 -16x + 64

16x = 464

x = 29 = hypotenuse

Double - Check
29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2
841 = 400 + 441

Need help with this problem
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal

\frac{20}{20+8} = \frac{3x}{4x+2}, that is

\frac{20}{28} = \frac{3x}{4x+2} ( cross- multiply )

20(4x + 2) = 84x

80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )

40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 10

Which system of equation should you use to solve this problem
Alex17521 [72]

Last option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Let x stand for the solution a and y stand for the solution B

So,

According to statement that

30 gallons have to be made

x+y=30

Solution A contains 29 percent bromine => 0.29x

Solution B contains 53 percent  =>0.53y

And the mixture of 30 gallons contains 45% bromine

0.29x+0.53y=30*0.45\\0.29x+0.53y=13.5

Following equations will be used for solving the problem

x+y = 30\\0.29x+0.53y=13.5

Hence,

Last option is the correct answer.
