1. 17+4h+2=1-5h
2. 19+4h=1-5h
3. 18+4h=-5h
4. 18=-9h
5. -2=h
By the Pythagorean Theorem:
The square of the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the side lengths squared, or mathematically:
h^2=x^2+y^2, where x and y are the side lengths and h is the length of the hypotenuse, in this case:
9.4^2=6.8^2+GF^2
GF^2=9.4^2-6.8^2
GF^2=42.12
GF=√42.12 units
GF≈6.49 units (to nearest hundredth of a unit)
A is your answer tell me if I am wrong.
8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.
