Answer:
<h2>x = 8 and y= 12</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

<em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>

We know: x + y = 20. Substitute:
<em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
got it right on edg
Factor because if we have
yz=0 then we can assume y and/or z=0
so factor
so the easiest way is to find what 2 numbers add to -6 and multiply to get 9 so
we know that they must be both - because we must have x+x=(-) and x^2=+ so therefor they must be negative
factors of 9=3 and 3 so
-3 and -3
-3+-3=-6 perfect
(z-3)(z-3)=0
set each to zero
z-3=0
add 3
z=3
z=3 is the answer
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
