The first step to solving this problem is to plug in 6 where you see a in the expression
-6² - 6 (-6) + 4
the first step to solving this is to evaluate the power
-36 - 6x (-6) + 4
next you will multiply the numbers
-36 + 36 + 4
finally,, eliminate the opposite of the expression to find your answer
4
this means that the correct answer to your question is 4.

Let x be the age of Ben and y be the age of Ishaan.
x= 4y... Equation (1)
x= y + 6... Equation (2)
Subtract the 2 equations
(1) - (2) : x-x= 4y - (y+ 6)
0 = 4y - y - 6
0 = 3y - 6
3y = 6
y = 2
So Ishaan is 2 years old
Substitute y = 2 in equation (1)
x = 4(2)
x = 8
So Ben is 8 years old and Ishaan is 2 years old.
Answer:
a = 6, b = 8, and c = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can easily use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve all of these.
a = 4; b = 6; c = 8... 4^2 + 6^2 = 16 + 36 = 52. 8^2 = 64. 52 is not equal to 64, so the first choice is not a right triangle.
a = 6; b = 8; c = 10... Well this is a multiple of the 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple, so this is a right triangle.
a = 5; b = 6; c = 761... 5^2 + 6^2 = 25 + 36 = 61. 761^2 = 579121, which is not equal to 61, so the third choice is not a right triangle.
a = 6; b = 9; c = 12... 6^2 + 9^2 = 36 + 81 = 117. 12^2 = 144, which is not equal to 117, so the fourth choice is not a right triangle.
The only case where there is a right triangle is the second choice, where a = 6, b = 8, and c = 10.
Hope this helps!
