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

Vladimir79 [104]
Hey there,

Your question states: <span>A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $11.50 and 9 shrubs. The total bill was $94.75. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

So, I will do 94.75 minus 11.50 because he bought nice scrubs so that would be 83.25.

I will do 83.25 divided by 9 because that's the number that person bought, each scrub will end up to be 9.25.

Hope this helps.

What are the coordinates of the image of C if it is reflected across the x-axis?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

(-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

~When reflecting a point of the x-axis, the x value (or first number inside the parenthesis) does not change.

The reason the x-value does not change is because you are reflecting over the x-axis, making the point go up or down. That will change the y-value but the x-value only changes if you move to the left or the right. In this case, you can see that the point's x-value is -2, so that will not change. It's current y-value however is -4. When reflecting over an axis, the number that is changing (in this case the y-value) will just be flipped from positive to negative, or vise versa. In this case, -4 will be reflected to be 4, making point C reflected over the x-axis (-2, 4).
