Answer:

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24 (A)

x² + 2x – 48 = 0 (D)

x² + (x + 2)² = 100 (E)

Question:

A question related to this found at brainly (ID:4482275) is stated below.

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Check all that apply.

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

x(x + 2) = 24

x2 + 2x – 24 = 0

x2 + 2x – 48 = 0

x2 + (x + 2)2 = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the diagram.

Area of triangle = ½ × base × height

= 0.5×b×h

base= x ft

Height = (x+2) ft

Area = 24ft²

24 = 0.5(x)(x+2)

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24 (A)

The equations that can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle must be equivalent to 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

On expanding this: 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

0.5(x²+2x) = 24

b) x(x + 2) = 24

x(x + 2) is not equal to 0.5(x²+2x)

c) x² + 2x – 24 = 0

0.5(x²+2x) = 24

0.5x²+x - 24 = 0 is not equal to x²+2x- 24 = 0

d) x² + 2x – 48 = 0

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

½(x)(x + 2) = 24

x² + 2x = 2(24)

x² + 2x – 48 = 0

Correct option (D)

x² + (x + 2)² = 100

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100

2x² + 4x = 96

2(x² + 2x +48)= 0

x² + 2x +48 = 0 is equal to 0.5(x²+2x) = 24

Correct (E)

I need to know how to solve <br> -4-(2+4(-6)-4-(2^2-5*2))
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires PEMDAS

Parentheses ( )

Exponents ^

Multiplication

Division

Add

Subtract

Start by solving anything in parentheses. There's an exponent within the parentheses, so we change that 2^2 into 4 and also make sure to multiply 5 x 2 before subtracting.

-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (4-10))

-4 - (2 + -24 - 4 - (-6))

Again, solve parentheses first.

-4 - (-22 - 4 - (-6))

-4 - (-26 + 6)

-4 - (-20)

-4 + 20

Answer is 16

How do you write in slope intercept with only the rate of change and one point. Like rate of change is -5 and the point is (3,0)
Simora [160]

Answer:

A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Now, we know that the rate of change (the slope) is -5

Then we just replace a by -5

y = -5*x + b

Now we also know that this line passes through a point, and the point is (3, 0)

This means that the point (3, 0) is a solution for the line equation, so when x = 3, we also have y = 0.

Replacing these values in our equation we get:

0 = -5*3 + b

0 = -15 + b

15 = b

Now we know the value of b, so we can replace it in the line equation to get:

y = -5*a + 15

Which is the complete equation of the line.
