The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5y inches long. The lengths of the legs are x + 8 and x + 3 inches. If the perimeter of

Zolol [24]

Answer: 35 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

hypotenuse = 5*y in

cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in

cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in

The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:

5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76

5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76

We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.

The shorter leg is x + 3, then:

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

Then we have the equations:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.

x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20

x = 5*y - 20

Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76

15*y - 40 + 13 = 76

15*y - 29 = 76

15*y = 76 + 29 = 105

and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:

3*(5*y) = 105

5*y = 105/3 = 35

5*y = 35

Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

muminat

Answer:

y = 3/4 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

you must put the equation into the form of y = mx + b

add 6x to both sides and put it in front of the 56

8y = 6x + 56

y must be by itself by x does not so we divide everything by 8

y = 6/8x + 7

we must simplify the fraction 6/8

y = 3/4x + 7

I have a question for 7th grade math that is do today.The math question is what is 56+(-56)=? I would guess it equals 0 but am I

qaws [65]

Answer:

56 + -56 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

because when there is a negative and a positive you add them together getting 0

Sorry its hard to explain but yes you are correct

I hope this helps

Answer:

7.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 2πr Divide each side by 2π

r = C/2π Insert values

r = 48/(2×3.14)

r = 48/6.28

r = 7.6 in

How long would it take to double your principal in an account that pays 6.5% annual interest compounded continuously? round your

prisoha [69]

It would take 10.7 years.

The formula for continuously compounded interest is:
$A=Pe^{rt}$
where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, and t is the number of years.

Using our information we have:
$A=Pe^{0.065t}$

We want to know when it will double the principal; therefore we substitute 2P for A and solve for t:
$2P=Pe^{0.065t}$

Divide both sides by P:
$\frac{2P}{P}=\frac{Pe^{0.065t}}{P}
\\
\\2=e^{0.065t}$

Take the natural log, ln, of each side to "undo" e:
$\ln{2}=\ln{e^{0.065t}}
\\
\\0.6931471806=0.065t$

Divide both sides by 0.065:
$\frac{0.6931471806}{0.065}=\frac{0.065t}{0.065}
\\
\\10.7\approx t$
