Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x in the first triangle by applying the leg rule.

Leg rule is given as: hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Hypotenuse = x

Leg = 28

Part = 16

Plug in the values into the equation

x/28 = 28/16

Cross multiply

x*16 = 28*28

16x = 784

x = 784/16

x = 49

✔️Let's check our answer to see if we would get the same value of x for the other triangle. Apply the same leg rule.

Hypotenuse = x

Leg = 21

Part = 9

Thus:

x/21 = 21/9

Cross multiply

x*9 = 21*21

9x = 441

x = 441/9

x = 49

✔️We have the same value. Therefore, x = 49 is the correct answer.

Which inequality has no solution?<br> 6(x+2) &gt; x-3<br> 3+4x2(1+ 2x)<br> -2(x+6) X-9 &lt;3(x-3)
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

6(x + 2) > x - 3

6x + 12 >  x - 3

6x - x >  - 12 - 3

5x >  - 9

3 + 4 \times 2(1 + 2x)

3 + 8(1 + 2x)

3 + 8 + 16x

11 + 16x

- 2(x + 6)x - 9 < 3(x - 3)

- 2( {x}^{2}  + 6x) - 9 < 3x - 9

- 2 {x}^{2}  - 12x - 9 < 3x - 9

The perimeter of a triangle is 65 centimeters. The second side is twice the first and the third side is 3 and 1/2 times the firs
Harlamova29_29 [7]
X=first number
2x= second side
3.5x= third side


X+2x+3.5x=65

6.5 x= 65
Divide both sides by 6.5

X=10. First side
2x= 20. Second side

3.5x= 35 = third side

10, 20, 35
