Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

x + x/2 - 20 = 1/4 x

3/2 x - 20 = 1/4x             Multiply by 4

3*2 x - 80 = x

6x - 80 = x

6x - x - 80 = 0

5x - 80 = 0

5x = 80

x = 16

Check

16 + 8 - 20 = 1/4 * 16

24 - 20 = 4

4 = 4

Explain how slope is used to determine if a triangle is a right triangle.
Bond [772]

A right triangle contains a right angle, so it must have two sides that are perpendicular. If the slopes of two sides can be shown to be negative reciprocals of each other, then it can be concluded that a right angle is formed. If a triangle contains a right angle, then it is a right triangle.

Which function has the largest y - intercept?
lesantik [10]
F(x) is a quadratic. The y intercept, therefore, is equal to the c value.
The y intercept here is -4.
For g(x), you can tell that the y intercept is 0 because that's the value of y when the x value is 0.
For h(x), the chart specifies that when x=0, y=-2, so the y intercept is -2.
Of these three values, 0 is the largest.
Final answer: g(x)
