Answer:
1. -16-(-11)=5
2.48 divided by -8 is 12
3.13/5=2
4.81-11=7
5.3*2=35
6 35*2=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Both of those equations are solved for y. So if the first one is equal to y and the second one is equal to y, then the transitive property says that the first one is equal to the second one. We set them equal to each other and solve for x. 4x-5=-3 and 4x = 2. That means that x = 1/2. We were already told that y = -3, so the coordinates for the solution to that system are (1/2, -3), B from above.
Answer:
Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.
Longer leg = 6.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49
To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.
x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49
Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.
Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.
Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.
