The first thing that would probably come to mind when solving this problem would be to plug in the numbers into the equations. Like this 12^2 + 16^2 = x^2 (X = to the number that you plug in from the answer bank.). This is correct thinking so you can try this:

144 + 256 = 400.

So your square has to be equal to 400.

And it most common knowledge that the square root of 400 is equal to 20.

So your answer is 20.

Answer:

x = 15p

-75

Explanation:

remove brackets:

4px + 4 = 64

solving for x --> 4px = 64 - 4 then--> 4px = 60

then diving both sides by 4p --> x = 60\4p --> x = 15p

now solving for x when p is -5

we will substitute the -5 in the equation we got --> x= 15 (-5)

which will give us --> x = -75

The slope intercept form of the line whose points are (1,5) and (-2,-4) is y=3x+2.

Given two points of a line (1,5) and (-2,-4).

We have to form an equation in slop intercept form.

Equation is relationship between two or more variables which are expressed in equal to form.Equations of two variables looks like ax+by=c.

Point slope form of an equation is y=x+mc where m is slope of the line.

From two points the formula of equation is as under:

(y- $y_{1}$ )= $(y_{2} -y_{1} )/(x_{2} -x_{1} )$ *(x- $x_{1}$ )
