The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.
I have two other ways:
Way #1:
5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.
We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.
There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.
Way #2:
-- Get 2 friends to help you.
-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.
-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.
-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.
-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.
Given:
The three equations for the three numbers are
To find:
The Pythagorean triple generated by using 4 for x and 1 for y.
Solution:
Substituting x=4 and and y=1 in the given equations, we get
In the same way find b and c.
The third number is
The required Pythagorean triple is 8, 15, and 17.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
12a+2b
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Expand by distributing terms.
20a-8b-2(4a-5b)20a−8b−2(4a−5b)
2. Expand by distributing terms.
20a-8b-(8a-10b)20a−8b−(8a−10b)
3. Remove parentheses.
20a-8b-8a+10b20a−8b−8a+10b
4.Collect like terms.
(20a-8a)+(-8b+10b)(20a−8a)+(−8b+10b)
5. Simplify.
12a+2b12a+2b
6.Answer
12a+2b

Answer:
<u><em>x=3.4</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (x)*
Insert the values:
Simplify exponents
Simplify addition:
Find the square root:
Finito.
*The hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90° angle and the longest side of a triangle, always.
