The correct equation would be 17 + x = 31

All you need to do is do 31 - 17 = 14 and x = 14 will be your answer!

In this question, we're trying to make a equation for the given information in the question.

We know that Tamara bought 31 total cases of tiles

We also know that she used 17 of those cases in the upstairs bathroom, while using the rest in the downstairs bathroom.

Since we know she started with a total of 31, our equation would equal to 31

We could represent the downstairs bathroom as "x"

Right now, our equation looks like this:

31 = x

However, since she used 17 of those tiles already, we would need to add 17 to our equation

31 = x + 17

The reason why we add 17 is because when we solve for the equation, we're going to have to subtract 17 from 31, and that would represent the amount of tiles she has left.

If you solve the equation

31 = x + 17

14 = x

She would have 14 tile cases left for the downstairs bathroom

Answer:

31 = x + 17

I don't understand how to do find x and y, please help? thank yous.
pav-90 [236]

#8) There are THREE right-angle (90°) TRIANGLES.

The "big" triangle has legs "x" and "no designation - <em>so lets call it Z" </em>and hypotenuse "4+5"<em> = 9</em>

The "left" triangle has legs "4" and "y" and hypotenuse "x"

The "right" triangle has legs "5" and "y" and hypotenuse "no designation - <em>which we named Z</em>"

Now, you can create a system of equations - you have three unknown variables and can create an equation for each triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Big: x² + Z² = 9² → x² + Z² = 81

Left: 4² + y² = x² → 16 + y² = x² → 16 = x² - y² → x² - y² = 16

Right: 5² + y² = Z² → 25 + y² = Z²

Next, let's eliminate Z by using substitution....use the Right equation to plug Z² into the Big equation to create a NEW Big equation.

NEW Big: x² + (25 + y² ) = 81 → x² + y² = 81 - 25 → x² + y² = 56

Now, we have two unknown variables (x and y) and two equations (NEW Big and Left). Solve the system using any method. <em>I am going to solve using the elimination method)</em>

NEW Big: x² + y² = 56

+ Left: <u>x² - y² = 16</u>

2x² = 72 <em>added the NEW Big and Left equations</em>

x² = 36 <em>divided both sides by 2</em>

x = 6 <em>took square root of both sides (NOTE: -6 is disregarded because we are solving for a length, which cannot be negative) </em>

The last step is to plug the "x" value (<em>that we just solved for)</em> into one of the equations to solve for "y". <em>I am choosing to use the Left equation.</em>

<em> </em>x² - y² = 16

36 - y² = 16<em> </em>

- y² = 16 - 36

- y² = -20

y² = 20

y = √20

y = 2√5

Answer: x = 6, y = 2√5

Try #9 on your own and then check your answers below:

Big: Z² + x² = 12², Left: 3² + y² = Z², Right: y² + 9² = x²

Answer: x = 6√3, y = 3√3
