Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 23  8 03

the lenght of the longer leg of a right triangle is 9 ft longer than the lenght of the shorter leg x. The hypotenuse is 9 ft shorter than twice the lenght of the shorter leg.

shorter leg    = x

longer leg     = x + 9

hypotenuse  =  2x - 9

Pythagorean theorem  =    a² + b²  = c²

             shorter-leg² + longer-leg² = hypotenuse²

                         x²  +  (x+9)²  = (2x - 9)²                  solve for x

                  x² +  (x+9) (x+9)  =  (2x - 9)(2x - 9)

                 x² +  (x²+18x+81)  =  (4x² - 36x + 81)

                       (2x²+18x+81)  =  (4x² - 36x + 81)

                                          0 =   2x² -54x

                                          0 =  x(2x - 54)  

                           0 = x      and         0 = 2x -54  

                                                       54 = 2x

                                                      27 =  x

shorter leg    = 27        

longer leg     = 36

hypotenuse  =  45

divided all the values by 9 and you get a 3, 4, 5  right triangle, so the answer checks correct

A bag contains 2 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the exact pro
vivado [14]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Red + 3 Blue + 7 Green = 12 Total Marbles.

You have 3 blue marbles out of the total marbles, so 3/12, then simplify it. 3/12 = 1/4. This gives you 0.25, or 25%.  

The probability of drawing a blue marble is 0.25 or 25%

Mrs. Mott called two companies about getting new uniforms for the soccer team. The first company she called charges $70 per unif
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

For less than 7 uniforms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first company she called charges $70 per uniform.

So, the cost of x uniforms will be $70x.

The second company she called charges $280 plus $30 per uniform.

So, the cost of x uniform will be $(280 + 30x).

Now, if the total cost of purchasing x number of uniforms from the first company is less than that from the second company then, we can write the inequality equation as  

70x < 280 + 30x

⇒ 70x - 30x < 280

⇒ 40x < 280

⇒ x < 7

Therefore, for less than 7 uniforms the cost from the first company will be less than the cost from the second company. (Answer)

The product of the page numbers on two facing pages of a book is 156. Find the page numbers
Gnoma [55]

Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)

Then

(x)(x+1) = 156

x^2 + x - 156 = 0

x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)

so x = 12

and the next page is 13
