Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

A Swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism. the pool is 5 ft deep. Its length is 3 times its width. The volume of th

Natasha2012 [34]

To solve for the width and the length of the pool, you will use the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. You will represent the length and the width of the pool in terms of w, the width.

Please see the attached picture for the work.

The width of the pool is 20 feet.

The length of the pool is 3 x 20 ft or 60 feet.

Which is the simplified form of the expression 3(7/5x+4) - 2(3/2 - 5/4x)?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. $\frac{67}{10} x + 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression. Remember to go by the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

1) First, distribute the numbers outside of the set of parentheses to the terms inside the set of parentheses next to them. Then, simplify the fractions.

$3(\frac{7}{5} x + 4) -2 (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{5}{4} x)$

$\frac{21}{5}x + 12 - \frac{6}{2} + \frac{10}{4} x$

$\frac{21}{5} x + 12 - 3 + \frac{10}{4} x$

2) Finally, combine like terms. (This means to add or subtract constants and to add or subtract terms with the same variables.) You may need to convert terms to the same denominator in order to do so easier. Then, reduce the fraction.

$\frac{21}{5} x + 9 + \frac{10}{4}x \\\frac{84}{20}x + \frac{50}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{134}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{67}{10}x + 9$

Thus, the answer is $\frac{67}{10} x + 9$ .
