Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 26+2c=312

Now we solve for c.

Subtract 26 on both sides giving 2c=286

So c=143

This is the equation in numbers translated (n is a number)

26 + 2n = 312

We have to find what the number (n) is. This means we must isolate n. To do this you must subtract 26 to both sides

26 - 26 + 2n = 312 - 26

0 + 2n = 286

2n = 286

To further isolate n you must divide 2 to both sides

2n/2 =286/2

n = 143

Check:

26 + 143*2 = 312

26 + 286 = 312

312 = 312

The number is 143

Hope this helped!

Which of these cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
Sholpan [36]
<h3>Answer: Choice D. 8m, 9m, 10m</h3>

==================================

Explanation:

If a = 8 and b = 9 are the two legs of a triangle and c = 10 is the hypotenuse, then

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 9^2 = 10^2

64 + 81 = 100

145 = 100

We get a false equation as 145 and 100 are two different values. So the original equation is false when (a,b,c) = (8,9,10)

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we have proven that this particular triangle is not a right triangle

-------------

Contrast this with something like choice A where we have a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 leading to

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

we get a true equation so a triangle with sides 3,4,5 is a right triangle. Choices B and C follow a similar path.
