Im not 100 percent positive that this is correct but I think the answer is
184
Answer:
b = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
b² + 12² = 15²
b² + 144 = 225 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
b² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )
b =
= 9
9x + 4 = 58
9x = 54
x = 6
The number is 6.
Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -
5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
Answer: f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x² - 6x + 8
you can take a-2 and substitute it for each x, which would look like this:
f(a-2) = 2(a-2)² - 6(a-2) + 8
then distribute those in ( )
f(a-2) = 2a² - 8a + 8 - 6a + 12 + 8
combine like terms
f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28
