Since it's a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem or Trig (Soh Cah Toa).
I'll just use the Pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c²
a = 9
b = x
c = 18
9² + x² = 18²
81 + x² = 324
x² = 324 - 81
x² = 243
x = √(243)
factor 243 to find a perfect square
x = √(3*81)
x = 9√(3)<u />
The area of a rectangle is length*width.
The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.
Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w
Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)
Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.
After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.
I hope this helped!
The answer is 15 - 5 x
Multiply 5 by 3 ( 15 )
Multiply 5 by -x ( -5x )

Answer:
27 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Town A:
Initial population = 14280
Rate = increase by 160 per year
Let t = time in years
Population is thus :
14280 + 160t - - - (1)
Town B:
Initial population = 24000
Rate = decrease by 200 per year
P = 24000 - 200t - - - (2)
Equate both equations :
14280 + 160t = 24000 - 200t
160t + 200t = 24000 - 14280
360t = 9720
t = 9720 / 360
t = 27
