Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c
By Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²
a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64
a² - 2a - 15 = 0
a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0
a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0
(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0
a = -3 or a = 5
Because a is a side length and is a positive number
a = 5
Answer:140
Step-by-step explanation:
24/20=168/N
Cross product
24×n=168×20
24n=3360
n=3360/24
n=140
Depends is the positive integer is larger than the negative interger for example -10+5=-5.
10+-4=6
Answer:
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>
<em />
Step-by-step explanation:
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
- 2m - 2m <em>(make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)</em>
3m - 8 = 2
+ 8 + 8 <em>(get m entirely on 1 side)</em>
3m = 10
÷3 ÷3 <em>(divide by 3 to get 1m)</em>
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>
