First, write put the information into an equation
2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)
distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21
Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x
x=33
Answer:
This is a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If this is true it is a right triangle
5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
25+144 = 169
169 =169
This is true so this is a right triangle
