Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that the line is JKL in order of the points from left to right.
JK + KL = JL
(17-x) + (2x-7) = JL
Simplify.
10-x = JL
Assuming those are the legs of the triangle and that you need to find the hypotenuse... I would use the formula: a^2+b^2=c^2
It doesn't matter what a and b are, just fill it in.
25^2+35^2=c^2
625+1225=c^2
1850=c^2
Take the square root of 1850, it isn't a perfect square so I got: 43.01.
If you want, just round it to 43, idc.
So, if I were to check my work, I would need to remember that the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Since 43 is the hypotenuse, it is the longest side.
In math, 'of' means 'multiplied by,' so 15% of 32 translates to '15% * 32.'
Now solve the equation:
x = 15% * 32
x = .15 * 32
x = 4.8
