<h3><u>The missing number is equal to -5.</u></h3>

-2(x + 9)  = -8

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

-2x - 18 = -8

<em><u>Add 18 to both sides.</u></em>

-2x = 10

<em><u>Divide both sides by -2.</u></em>

x = -5

A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 feet, 15 feet, and 17 feet. is it a right triangle?
aksik [14]
To test if this is a right triangle, let's test these side lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle.
a and b are the legs of the right triangle.

a = 7
b = 15
c = 17

7^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 ?

49 + 225 = 289 ?

274 ≠ 289

Thus, this triangle is not a right triangle since it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Have an awesome day! :)
