Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the rule: 5, 12, 13

To prove this rule: Use the equation a² + b² = c²; where as a & b = shorter side, and c is the hypotenuse (longest).

Solve. Let a = x, b = 12, c = 13

a² + b² = c²

(x)² + (12)² = (13)²

Simplify

x² + 144 = 169

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

x² + 144 (-144) = 169 (-144)

x² = 169 - 144

x² = 25

Isolate the x. Root both sides

x² = 25

√(x²) = √(25)

x = √25 = √(5 * 5) = 5

5 is your answer for x

Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 21 and their difference is 5
kykrilka [37]

Answer: x = 13 and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers must add to 21. We don't know them yet, so let's just use a placeholder for both of them for now.

x + y = 21

Their difference is five, meaning that if we subtract one from the other, we get five. Again, we don't know the numbers yet, so we'll add a placeholder for now.

x - y = 5

We can now solve a system of equations for x.

x = y + 5

y + 5 + y = 21

2y + 5 = 21

2y = 16

y = 8

x - 8 = 5

x = 13

So x = 13 and y = 8

From least to greatest -9, 12/20, 1/5
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

-9, 1/5, 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 is negative so it will always be the least. It helps to turn the fractions into decimals. To do this, you can just divide 1 by 5 and 12 by 20.

1/5 = .2

12/20 = .6

So, 1/5 is less than 12/20.

This makes the order -9, 1/5, 12/20.

How would -35.64 be classified
grigory [225]

If you mean classifying numbers, then I think -35.64 will be a real, rational number

Rational numbers are written as decimals or factions

If a number has a decimal or faction, the number can not be a integer. If its not a integer, then it cannot be a whole number.
