Answer:
The triangle should be 16 inches wide.
Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:
- One of the legs measures 12 inches.
- The hypotenuse is 20 inches.
We need to solve for b. Solving for a while b is 12 would also be acceptable.

We will use the first equation.


The triangle should be 16 inches wide.
Answer: x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
17x + -3 = 48
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 17x = 48
Solving
-3 + 17x = 48
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 17x = 48 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 17x = 48 + 3
17x = 48 + 3
Combine like terms: 48 + 3 = 51
17x = 51
Divide each side by '17'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
m = 4 ; (1,-2)
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - [-2] = 4 (x - 1)
y + 2 = 4x - 4
y = 4x - 4 - 2
y = 4x - 6
The line is passing through the y-axis at 3. The slope of the line is 3.
So your equation would be y = 3x + 3.
Now solve A through F to see which equation(s) matches the line.
A. y + 6 = 3(x + 3)
y + 6 = 3x + 9
y = 3x + 3
B. y + 6 = 3(x + 1)
y + 6 = 3x + 3
y = 3x - 3
C. y - 6 = 3(x - 3)
y - 6 = 3x - 9
y = 3x - 3
D. y - 6 = 3(x - 1)
y - 6 = 3x - 3
y = 3x + 3
E. y = 3x + 2
F. y = 3x + 3
Which letters equaled y = 3x +3?
A, D, and F.
The equations that describe the line are A, D, and F.
