Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.

Steve sells half of his comic books and then buys 6 more now he has 14 comic books

ddd [48]

Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

$b \to \dfrac{b}{2}$

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

$\dfrac{b}{2} \to \dfrac{b}{2}+6$

This number is now 14, so you have

$\dfrac{b}{2}+6 = 14$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$\dfrac{b}{2} = 8$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$b = 16$

Suppose the total weight of the fish caught stayed the same but instead of 100 fish caught during the weeklong fishing trip only

Paha777 [63]

The weight of each fish would be multiplied by 10.

Assume the first time, the weight was 800 lb. Since there were 100 fish caught, the weight of each fish would be 800/100 = 8 lb.

This time, however, only 10 fish were caught. The weight would be 800/10 = 80 lb.

80 = 8(10), so the weight is 10 times more.
