Answer:

5 ; 12 ; 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Shorter leg = x

Other leg = x + 7

Hypotenus = x + 8

Recall:

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²

x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3

(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5

Side can't be negative ;

Hence,

x = shorter side = 5

Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12

Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is equal to 6 more than four times the smallest multiple. What is the largest multip
Setler79 [48]

Answer:  (a) 9

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1st multiple of 3: 1(3x)

2nd multiple of 3: 2(3x)

3rd multiple of 3: 3(3x)

Sum = 4(1st multiple of 3) + 6


1(3x) + 2(3x) + 3(3x) = 4(3x) + 6

 3x  +    6x  +    9x  =  12x  + 6

                        18x  = 12x + 6

                          6x =           6

                            x = 1


Largest (3rd) multiple is: 3(3x)

                                      = 9x

                                      = 9 · 1

                                      = 9
