Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

How to solve:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of side BC.

Pythagorean Theorem Formula:

$A^2+B^2=C^2$

Side AB will be A, side AC will be B, and side BC will be C.

Plug in values.

$8^2+15^2 = C^2\\\\\\64 + 225 = C^2\\\\289 = C^2\\Square.root.both.sides.\\\\\sqrt{289} = C\\17 = C\\\\\\$

This means the answer is A. 17.

I hope this helps!

Find to numbers, A & B,whose Products, A x B, is less than the sum, A + B. Can you find to positive numbers?

NeTakaya

Answer:

any number, n, multiplied by 1 is less than n + 1, so A = 1, B = any number

For example, 1 % 7. 1 * 7 = 7. 1 + 7 = 8

Also, having one of the variables be a decimal can make the numbers smaller.

For example, 28 * 0.5 = 14. 28 + 0.5 = 28.5

Solve and check 8-(6-8x) =4x+4

navik [9.2K]

Greetings!

"Solve and check $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$ "...

Solve for x:
 $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$
Remove the Parenthesis.
$8-6-8x=4x+4$
Simplify.
$2-8x=4x+4$
Add -4 to both sides.
$(2-8x)+(-4)=(4x+4)+(-4)$
Simplify.
$-2-8x=4x$
Add 8x to both sides.
$(-2-8x)+8x=(4x)+8x$
Simplify.
$-2=12x$
Divide both sides by 12.
$(-2)/12=(12x)/12$
Simplify.
$-0.166666667=x$

The answer is: x=-0.166666667

Hope this helps.

7 is 1/10 of what number

umka21 [38]

We should find the original number, 7 of 1/10. We divide the known number for the numerator, than multiply for denominator.

7 : 1 = 7 * 10 = 70 <- answer

So 7 is 1/10 of 70

We can check our work:

1/10 of 70 = 7?

70 : 10 = 7*1 = 7

2x -3y =2 x = 6y - 5

never [62]

2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3
