Answer:
D. -20 + 35c
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>All you need to do is distribute the -5 to what's inside the parenthesis:</u></em>
-5(4 - 7c)
<em><u>The -5 can be distributed to the 4 and the -7c:</u></em>
-20 + 35c
Answer:
c = 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of the triangle are a and b and the hypotenuse is c
Let a be the shorter leg
The hypotenuse is 5 more than the longest leg
c = b+5
The shortest leg is 20
a = 20
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
Substituting in what we know from above
20 ^2 + b^2 = (b+5)^2
FOIL (b+5)^2 = b^2 +5b+5b +25 = b^2+10b+25
400 + b^2 = b^2+10b+25
Subtract b^2 from both sides
400+b&2-b^2 = b^2 -b^2 +10b+25
400 = 10b+25
Subtract 25 from both sides
400-25 = 10b+25-25
375 = 10b
Divide by 10
375/10 = 10b/10
37.5 = b
But we want to find c
c=b+5
c = 37.5+5
c = 42.5
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve both equations:
1) 9x = 5x + 4
Simplifying
9x = 5x + 4
Reorder the terms:
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
9x + -5x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
4x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
4x = 4 + 0
4x = 4
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
2) 14x = 4
14x = 4 (divide both sides by 14 to get x)
14x/14 = 4/14
x = 0.285714285714
As you can see, the value of x in the second equations is less than one, therefore making these algebraic equations not equivalent.
