Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

There's many ways you can begin this, I prefer getting rid of the fraction first.

Multiply both sides by 3/2 (yes, I switched it on purpose)

You get. . .

5x-6 = 9

To isolate the 5x, add 6 to both sides

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5 and you get . . .

x=3

TEA [102]

6 = -2b (cancel -2b on both sides)

6/-2 = b (divide both sides by -2)

-3 = b (simplify 6/2 to 3)

now switch sides

Answer: b = -3

What is the length of the diagonal of a 10 cm by 15 cm rectangle?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

18.02 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagonal makes a rectangle into two right triangles. So if we use the Pythagorean theorem we can find the hypotenuse which is the diagonals.

Remember, because we know the length and width, we know the two sides.

10^2 + 15^2 = c^2

100+225 = c^2

325 = c^2

18.027 ≈ c
