Pythagoras Theorem is the way in which you can find the missing length of a right angled triangle.
The triangle has three sides, the hypotenuse (which is always the longest), Opposite (which doesn't touch the hypotenuse) and the adjacent (which is between the opposite and the hypotenuse).
Pythagoras is in the form of;
a<em><u /></em>²+b²=c²
However, it can also be written in the form of c²=a²+b²
In order to find the hypotenuse, you will have the length of two sides, for example, these could be 3 and 4.
As 'C' is always the hypotenuse, you have to work out the two other lengths, and you do this by squaring the numbers.
3²=9 and 4²=16.
As you're looking for C, you've got to add these together
9+16=25
As a²+b²=c², this means that the answer for C is the square root of 25.
√25= 5
Hope this has been able to help you :)
We actually need the choices but oh well, we can simpify and hopefuly it is one of the choices
remember the distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so
7(p+2n)+n
distribute first
7(p)+7(2n)+n
7p+14n+n
7p+15n is an equivilent expression
So in slope intercept form or y=mx+b or in your case c=mx+b where b=15, x=number of movies and b=2 dollars per cd then
C=2x+15 so
the C intercept is when x=0 so
set x to 0 and get
2(0)+15=C
0+15=C
C=15
Cintercept=15
slope=m so slope=2
C intercetp=15
so if borrow certain number of movies just plug in the values for x so
1
2(1)+15=2+15=17
2
2(2)+15=4+15=19
and so on
4x = 5x - 12
First you want to subtract 5x from both sides:
5x will cancel out
4x - 5 = -1
Next you want to divide -1 on both sides:
-1 will cancel out
-12/-1 = 12
Since there are two negatives it turns into a positive.
So your answer is x = 12.
Hope this Helps!!
