You use the Pythagorean theorem .

Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<u>Solve for x:</u>

Take out exponent.

12^2 + x^2 = 20^2

Subtract 144 on both sides to get the variable alone.

144 + x = 400

-144         -144

You get the solution as 256. But you know it's bigger than the numbers given. So find the square root of 256.

x = 256

Which leaves you with:

x = 16

<u>Check:</u>

12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

144 + 256 = 400

400 = 400

<u>Key:</u>

a = First shortest side (shorter side with the number smaller than side b and c)

b = Second shortest side (the number that is between side a's and c's number)

c = Third shortest side (longer side with the number larger than side a and b)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, you can use proportions to solve for the value of x

\frac{x}{12}  = \frac{4}{3}

Now, just multiply 4 and 12.

4 * 12 = 48

Then divide that by 3.

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, x = 16.

Can some one help me with some math problems
Tatiana [17]
It's C, Y = 2x + 3. This is cause, if we use the table and say that y = 5 and x = 1, then 5 = 1 x 2 + 3 which is correct

Use the equation Y= 11 - 5X to find y when x=7.
kap26 [50]
Plug in x = 7. Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify
y = 11 - 5*x
y = 11 - 5*7 .... x has been replaced with 7 (since x = 7 is given)
y = 11 - 35
y = -24

Does the equation 6x+35=-6x+35 have infinitely many ,one or no solution​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+35=-6x+35

Add 6x to both sides (addition property of equality)

12x+35=35

Subtract 35 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)

12x=0

Divide both sides by 12 (division property of equality)

x=0

Therefore there is only one solution, 0.

Solve for x:<br><br><br><br> 2 x + 10 + 2 x - 6 = 36
skad [1K]
Group together the like terms (plus 2x with 2x) (subtract 10 by 6)

4x+4=36

Move plus four to the other side as a negative

4x=32

Divide both sides by 4

32 divided by 4 is 8


Therefore, x is equal to 8
