Answer:

UN = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

(4x - 3)² = (3x + 3)² + x² ← distribute both sides

16x² - 24x + 9 = 9x² + 18x + 9 + x² ← simplify

16x² - 24x + 9 = 10x² + 18x + 9 ( subtract 10x² + 18x + 9 from both sides )

6x² - 42x = 0 ← factor out 6x from each term

6x(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

6x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 7

Hence UN = x = 7 and SU = 4x - 3 = (4 × 7) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: First you would do this 1260.90 divided by 6 = 210. So then you would multiply 210 x 2 = 420. $420 is how much the people who are staying for 6 days. Then since we know it’s $210 per day, we would subtract $420 from 1260.90 and we would get 840.90. Divide that by 6 and get 140. 140 is how much those two people are paying for 2 nights.

Answer:

2 5/8 ounces of juice are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/8 - 3 6/8 =

51/8 - 30/8 (Converted into improper fractions.)
51/8 - 30/8 = 21/8
21/8 = 2 5/8 (Converted improper fraction into a mixed fraction.)

What is the probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble from a bag containing 12 yellow marbles 14 red marbles

Zinaida [17]

The probability of drawing both without replacing either is :

14/41 * 12/40 = 7/41 * 3/5 = 21/205

The probability of drawing both WITH replacement is:

14/41 * 12/41 = 168/ 1681

Find the missing part. Find Px

MariettaO [177]

Px = missing length
xy = 3
Py = 6
these are the 3 sides of a right triangle; let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find Px
(Px)² + 3² = 6² subtract 3² from both sides
(Px)² = 36 - 9 simplify the right
(Px)² = 27 take the square root of both sides
Px = $\sqrt{27}$
Px = $3 \sqrt{3}$
