Answer:

x=4.0625 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:

(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2

(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)

x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9

16x=65

x=4.0625

Checking:

(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2

82.1289=82.1289

In a parking lot there are totally 70 vehicles, cars and motorcycles. all together they've got 258 wheels. how many cars are the
docker41 [41]
1 car - 4 wheels
1 motorcycle - 2 wheels

x - number of cars
y - number of motorcycles

so, there are 70 vehicles: x + y = 70
and all togeather they've got 258 wheels: 4*x + 2*y = 258
because each car has 4 wheels, so all car wheels = 4*x,
likewise 2*y for motorcycles

x + y = 70  /* 4
4 x + 2y = 258

4 x + 4 y = 280  (R1)
4 x + 2y = 258    (R2)

2y = 22  /:2      it is R1 - R2
x = 70 - y

y = 11    /motorcycles
x = 70 - 11 = 59  /cars

check:
59 + 11 = 70  ok
59 * 4 + 11 * 2 = 236 + 22 = 258  ok
