Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2+4(-x+4)=10\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-2+(4)(-x)+(4)(4)=10\\\\-2-4x+16=10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(-2+16)=10\\\\-4x+14=10\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-4x+14-14=10-14\\\\-4x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}\\\\x=1

One leg of a right triangle is 28 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 52 inches. Find the lengths of the leg
katovenus [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing sides measurement.

x+x+28=52

combine like terms

2x + 28 = 52

subtract 28 from both sides

2x + 28 = 52

     - 28  - 28

2x = 24

divide both sides by 2

x = 12

plug it back in

one leg is 12 inches

the other leg is 40 inches
