Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30
My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)

plug that in your calculator, make sure the calculator is in Degree mode
9x-30 I’m pretty sure!
We are finding the difference, which means subtract! Nine times a number would be 9x and since it’s difference you would subtract it by 30.
Answer:
6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This answer makes sense because i subtracted the 8 inches from the total 60 then i used the number i got in the result (52)then i divided 52 by 8 wich are the rest of the steps. getting 6.5
