Answer:

George's mistake would be:

Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b

y + 20 = 2(x +20)

y + 20 = 2x + 40

- 20 - 20

----------------------

y = 2x + 20

(Should have been the answer)

BUT,

George's Solving:

y + 20 = 2(x + 20)

y + 20 = -x + 20

George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.

two sides of a triangle measures 25 cm + 35 CM which of the following would be the measure of the third side

Oxana [17]

Assuming those are the legs of the triangle and that you need to find the hypotenuse... I would use the formula: a^2+b^2=c^2
It doesn't matter what a and b are, just fill it in.
25^2+35^2=c^2
625+1225=c^2
1850=c^2
Take the square root of 1850, it isn't a perfect square so I got: 43.01.
If you want, just round it to 43, idc.
So, if I were to check my work, I would need to remember that the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Since 43 is the hypotenuse, it is the longest side.

Solution -9-8(1+4h)= -17

geniusboy [140]

Step 1. Add 9 to both sides

 $-8(1+4h)=-17+9$

Step 2. Simplify $-17+9$ to $-8$

$-8(1+4h)=-8$

Step 3. Divide both sides by $-8$

$1+4h=1$

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

$4h=0$
Step 5. Divide both sides by 4

$h=0$

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

To check $-9-8(1+4h)=-17$ follow these steps below:

Step 1. Let h = 0

$-9-8*(1+4*0)=-17$

Step 2. Simplify 4 * 0 to 0

$-9-8*(1+0)=-17$

Step 3. Simplify 1 + 0 to 1

$-9-8*1=-17$

Step 4. Simplify 8 * 1 to 8

$-9-8=-17$

Step 5. Simplify -9 -8 to -17

 $-17=-17$

Done! :)
