C^2=a^2+b^2 we are given the hypotenuse of 19 units and one leg of 8 units so:

19^2=8^2+b^2

361=64+b^2

b^2=297

b=√297

b≈17.2 to the nearest tenth

Solve the equation. 2/3 - 4x 7/2= -9x+ 5/6 step by step

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{11}{21}}$

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

$\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x+\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\(6)\dfrac{2}{3}-(6)\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x(6)+(6)\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad \text{(multiplied by LCD) }\\\\4 - 12x-21=-54x+5\qquad \text{(simplified)}\\\\-12x - 17 = -54x + 5\qquad \text{(added like terms)}\\\\42x-17=5\qquad \text{(added 54x to both sides)}\\\\42x = 22\qquad \text{(added 17 to both sides)}\\\\x=\dfrac{22}{42}\qquad \text{(divided both sides by 42)}\\\\x=\dfrac{11}{21}\qquad \text{(reduced the fraction)}$

NOTE: The sign between 4x and 7 is missing in the question you posted. I assumed it was 4x + 7 in order to solve the equation.
