Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x. In the formula, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, variables a and b represent the lengths of the legs, and variable c represents the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
18^2 + x^2 = 30^2
324 + x^2 = 900
x^2 = 576
x = 24
A)2y - 1/2 = -1/3
2y=-1/3+1/2
FIND THE LCM TO MAKE THE FRACTIONS LIKE FRACTIONS
LCM OF 3 AND 2 IS 6
-1/3*2=-2/6
1/2*3=3/6
-2/6+3/6=1/6
2y=1/6
y=1/6 ÷ 2
TAKING THE RECIPROCAL,
RECIPROCAL OF 2 IS 1/2
y=1/6*1/2
y=1/12
B) 6 + 5 (a - 1) = 30
6+(5)*(a)+(5)*(−1)=30(Distribute)
6+5a+−5=30
(5a)+(6+−5)=30(Combine Like Terms)
5a+1=30
5a=30-1
5a=29
a=29/5
15.sum of three consecutive integers=48
let the numbers be x ,x+1,x+2
x+x+1+x+2==48
3x+3=48
3x=48-3
3x=45
x=45/3
x=15
x+1=15+1=16
x+2=15+2=17
the numbers are 15,16,17
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
PQ*PQ=PQ²=(5x+16)²=25x²+160x+256
Answer:
JK = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
JK ≅ JM
where
JK = 3x - 16
JM = 2x - 7
3x - 16 = 2x - 7
group like terms
3x - 2x = 16 - 7
x = 9
<u>plugin x=9 into JK</u>
JK = 3x - 16
JK = 3(9) - 16
JK = 11
