Answer:

<h2>3x = 18</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem here:

30² = (3x)² + (4x)², or:

30² = 9x² + 16x²  =  25x²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get √(30)² = √(25x²), or:

30 = ± 5x

Neglect -5x, since we are measuring distances, and distances are positive.

Then 5x = 30, and so x = 6

Thus, 3x = 3(6) = 18

An insect crawls up 5cm every second on a 6cm vertical rod and then falls down 2cm over the next second. How many seconds will i
makkiz [27]

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It's quite simple. First, add 5cm to the progress of the insect, counting it as 1 second. Then subtract 2cm because it falls over the next second, thus taking another second. Then finally, plus 5cm, making it 3 seconds. It's not 4 seconds because at 3 seconds it had already reached the top.

If I didn't clear everything or messed up, please comment.
