Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation: If we use the Pythagorean theorem, we can figure out that 6 squared plus 8 squared equals 100. The square root of 100 is 10, so that is the length of the hypotenuse.

On a number line, point F is at 4, and point G is at -2. Point H lies between point F and point G. If the ratio of FH to HG is 3

Mademuasel [1]

Here, we are required to determine the point where point H lie on the number line.

The point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

The distance between point F and G on the number line is:

4 - (-2) = 6 numbers on the number line.

And since the ratio of FH to HG is 3:9

Then, let point H be at no. X on the number line.

Therefore; FH/HG = (4 - x)/(x - (-2))

i.e 3/9 = (4 - x)/ (x +2).

By cross multiplication, 3x + 6 = 36 - 9x.

Therefore, 12x = 30

and, x = 2.5

Therefore, the point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

-2x=-14, what is the value of x?

eduard

$\huge{\boxed{7}}$

To find the value of $x$ , we need to isolate it. In this case, we can do so by dividing it by $-2$ , and what we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other. So, divide both sides of the equation by $-2$ . $x=\boxed{7}$
