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

Solve the equation. 2(y – 4) = 4 SHOW YOUR WORK!
ahrayia [7]

2(y−4)=4

(2)(y)+(2)(−4)=4

2y+−8=4

2y−8=4

2y−8+8=4+8

2y=12

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{12}{2}

y=6 is correct answer.

Hope this helps!
