Question

Plz Help, and solve. Show your work. I will give Brainliest. A - 7 = -13 solve and show your work 10X - 8 = 9X + 8 Can a right triangle have sides that measure 12, 16, and 20? Show your work and answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

For the first question/equation, A=-6. You can just add seven on both sides.

A-7+7=-13+7          A=-6

For the second question, X=16. You can minus 9x on both sides, then plus 8 on both sides. 10X-9X-8+8=9X-9X+8+8=X=16

For the last one, yes, it can because of 12^2+16^2=20^2. Which simplified is . 144+256= 400. So, yeah. It can be a right triangle.

Answer 2

Answer:

A - 7 = -13

Add 7

A = -6

10X - 8 = 9X + 8

Add 8

10X = 9X + 16

Subtract 9X

X = 16

In a right triangle, where a and b are the shorter sides, and c is the longer side a^2+b^2=c^2

Thus, plug in the values.

12^2+16^2=20^2

144+256=400

400=400.

Because the equation is true, 12, 16, and 20 can be a right triangle
