Answer:
The answer A
Step-by-step explanation:
B: You need a side that is longer than 2 equal sides. B is incorrect.
A: Try
9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2 if that works, A will work.
81 + 144 = 225
This works. I used these numbers because they were easier to see.
0.9^2 + 1.2^2 = 1.5^2
0.81 + 1.44 = 2.25
2.25 = 2.25
That is the answer A
But we have to check the other two.
C:
0.9^2 = 0.81
1.2^2 = 1.44
1.8^2 = 3.24 This won't work. 3.24 is just too big.
D:
0.9^2 = 0.81
0.6^2 = 0.36
1.5^2 = 2.25 It's too far away.
It would be e, because it went down 10 instead of 5
The product of powers property.
Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
