Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=78

b=10+a

c=2b

then, we back the first

a+10+a+2b=78

2a+2b=78- 10

2a+2(10+a)=68

2a+2a=48

4a=48

a=12

b=22

c=44

Y_Kistochka [10]
We have to use Pythagorean theorem that says : 

a^2+b^2=c^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+15^2=39^2\\a^2=39^2-15^2\\a=\sqrt{1296}\\a=36

The missing length of the triangle is : 36 feet

PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Isn't that just soild liquid and gas atoms?

The image is showing how the atoms change depending on which state of matter it is, so if it is a soild the atoms would be really compacted as it moves slower, if it's a liquid then it's more looser than a soild, but more compacted than a gas, and a gas is just moving a lot and has a lot more space.

^^ That would be the answer if you on the states of matter or something like that unit.

Answer:

y+3 = 2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a slope and a point, we can use the point slope form for an equation of a line

y -y1= m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y--3 = 2(x-4)

y+3 = 2(x-4)
