Using the Pythagorean theorem:
X = sqrt(26^2 - 10^2)
X = sqrt(676-100)
X = sqrt(576)
X = 24
Answer: 24
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 1/4
How?
Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.
Because of the above, the first proportion will be:
x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one
x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.
Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.
Answer:
The equation is: y = 1/2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of j is -2. The slope of a line perpendicular to line j has a negative inverse: 1/2. The point is (-8, 3).
Use the point slope form of the equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute:
y - 3 = 1/2(x - (-8))
y - 3 = 1/2x + 4
y = 1/2x + 4 + 3
y = 1/2x + 7
Proof:
Solve for f(x) when x = -8.
f(x) = 1/2x + 7
f(-8) = 1/2(-8) + 7
= -8/2 + 7
= -4 + 7
= 3, giving the point (-8, 3)
10/26, you can just multiply each number in the fraction by 2 :)
