I’m assuming that 9cm is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
By using Pythagorean’s theorem
α²+b²=c²
in this case, c =9
So, (x+5)² + (x-3)² =(x+5)(x+5) + (x-3)(x-3)
=x²+5x+5x+25+x²-3x-3x+9
=2x²+4x+31=81
And by solving the equation, you get two x values, but since you can’t have x as a negative figure, the positive figure being 3.9498, x=3.95 (corrected to 3 significant figures)

Alex

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

pay 60 = -60

Let d = the number of days

30d - 60 = sister

20d = me

Equation:

30d - 60 = 20d                    Move 30 to the other side

-30d          -30d

-60 = 20d - 30d                    Combine liked terms

-60 = -10d                                

-10     -10                                Divide

d = 6
