In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

The difference between 32.6 and a number is 10.2. Which equation can be used to solve this problem? 32.6 minus y = 10.2 y minus
guapka [62]

Answer:

32.6 - y= 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem can be written as

32.6 - y= 10.2

Where y is the number that was substracted from 32.6.

If we make y subject of formula we have

y= (32.6-10.2)

y=22.4

Which means the number that was substracted from 32.6 is 22.4 and there difference is 10.2

-(5y) - y = 18
-6y = 18
y = -3
x = 5(-3)
x = -15
(-15, -3)

5x + 4(-7x - 3) = -35
5x -28x -12 = -35
-23x = -23
x = 1
y = -7(1) - 3
y = -10
