Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(x-1)² + (x-2)² = x²

x²-2x+1 + x²-4x+4 = x²

reduce:

2x²-6x+5 = x²

subtract x² from each side:

x²-6x+5 = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x=1 but because shorter leg would be 0, a triangle would be impossible.

x=5

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! PLEASE HELP!
vodomira [7]

The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with


different symbols.


For example, instead of x, we could use the


letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.


Then the equation becomes


F = mC + b.


All temperature scales are related by linear


equations. For example, the temperature in


degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.

Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F


Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F


Hope this helps!

dybincka [34]

If your solving for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

-24 ≤ 3x - 9        First add 9 on both sides

-24 + 9 ≤ 3x - 9 + 9

-15 ≤ 3x        Then divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{-15}{3} \leq \frac{3x}{3}

-5 ≤ x                  [or  x ≥ -5 if you prefer "x" to be on the left side]
