using the Pythagorean Thereom:

3^2 +4^2 = X^2

9 +16 = 25

x^2 = 25

X = sqrt (25)

x = 5

 it would be 5 miles

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Going 3 miles due south and 4 miles due east (since school is 4 miles west of Jimmy's house, this means Jimmy's house is due east of the school) forms the legs of a right triangle.

To find the missing side length of a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

The opposite of "squared" is "square root":

√25 = √(c²)

5 = c

Which equation can be solved by using this system of equations?
laila [671]
If you observe the two given equations, the left hand side of both equation is the same and is equal to y.

Since the left hand side of two equations is the same, we can conclude that the right hand side of two equations must also be the same. 

So, setting them right hand sides of both equations equal to each other and solving for x, we can find the solution to the simultaneous equations.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

Beverley has quarters and dimes in her pocket. She has 21 coins with a total value of $3.00. How many of each type of coin does
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If all 21 coins were dimes, she'd have $2.10. But she has 90 more cents than that. Now for each coin that's a quarter, not a dime, she has 15 cents more. 90/15= 6. So there are 6 quarters, and 21-6 = 15 dimes.

Now we do it backwards to see if it's right. 6 quarters is $1.50, 15 dimes is $1.50, add those together and you get $3. So it's right. 6 quarters, 15 dimes.

Which of the following is a quadratic equation that has the roots x = 2 and x = −7? (4 points)
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x^2 + 5x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that if there is 2 options for x, this is a quadratic equation that equals 0.

Therefore, we can put this into brackets as one bracket must equal 0.

(x - 2) (x + 7)

After this we expand, which is a process easier to search up

The answer is:

x^2 + 7x - 2x - 14

We can simplify this to:

x^2 + 5x - 14

x^2 represents x squared in case you were wondering

Therefore, the answer is:

x^2 + 5x - 14
