Answer:
Pythagorean Theorem Statement is below.
Therefore the value of x is 9 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Label the vertices as A , B , C shown in figure below such that
∠A = 90°
AC = Longer leg = 12 m
AB = Shorter leg = x
BC = Hypotenuse = 15 m
To Find:
x = ?
Solution:
Pythagorean Theorem :
Pythagorean Theorem States that "the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides".
Which can be Written as

OR

i.e 
Substituting the values AB ,AC, BC we get

Therefore the value of x is 9 m.
Hi there,
Take y from first equation and use it / substitute it into the second equation:
-2x + 8 = x - 1, so 3x = 9, therefore x = 3.
Then y = x - 1 = 3 - 1 => y = 2.
Solution is (3,2).
A quick check: 2 = -2*3 + 8, true, and 3 = 2 - 1, also true.
Green eyes.
I do believe it is 12 as well considering the fact that it's negative three and not positive. If it was a positive three then maybe it would be 18.
You can find total number of cars doing this:
72° - 8 cars
360° - X cars
X = (360 * 8) / 72
You follow the logic for the cars
Your answer is A. Y=5- 1/3x
