Answer: 35 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

hypotenuse = 5*y in

cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in

cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in

The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:

5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76

5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76

We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.

The shorter leg is x + 3, then:

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

Then we have the equations:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.

x = 5*y  - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20

x = 5*y - 20

Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76

15*y - 40 + 13 = 76

15*y - 29 = 76

15*y = 76 + 29 = 105

and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:

3*(5*y) = 105

5*y = 105/3 = 35

5*y = 35

Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.

Answer:

So the answer is 14 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Median means the number in the middle, and 17 and 11 are in the middle. Because there's 2 numbers in the middle, you need to average them to find the answer.

17+11=28

28 / 2= 14. So the answer is <u>14 </u><u>seconds</u>.

I'LL WON'T BE OFFEND IF U DON'T HELP ME WITH THIS
Evgesh-ka [11]

The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.

Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.


One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:

34 - 11 = 23

The other number is 23.

Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:

11 + 23 = 34

34/2 = 17.

Answer:

y = 4 / x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert x equation for variable x

y = 2(-y+6)

simplify

y= -2y + 12

add 2y to both sides

3y= 12

divide both sides by 3

y = 4

Insert 4 as y in y =2x

4=2x

divide both sides by 2

x=2
