Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

y² + 12² = 13²

y² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

y² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorum: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + y^2 = 13^2

144 + y^2 = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides

y^2 = 25

Square root both sides

y = 5

It costs $2.50 to rent bowling shoes. Each game costs $2.25. You have $9.25. Write and solve an equation to find how many games

Nesterboy [21]

Hi there!

So, 2.25x would represet the total amount of money spent for all the games.

2.25x + 2.50 = 9.25 would be the equation to represent this scenario.

Now to solve: Our goal is the get x alone. Subtract 2.50 (the price of the shoes) from both sides. 9.25 - 2.50 = 6.75.

We are now left with 2.25x = 6.75.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.25, which leaves us with x = 3.

So you can bowl for a total of 3 games.

I hope I helped!

Find the illegal values of b in the fraction (2b^2+36-10)/(b^2-26-8)

skad [1K]

Correct Question is: Find the illegal values of b in the fraction (2b^2 + 3b - 10)/(b^2 - 2b - 8)

illegal values are those which are not a part of Domain. In this case these will be such values which will make the denominator of the fraction zero.

So setting the denominator equal to zero, we can find these values.

$b^{2} -2b-8=0 \\ \\ 
 b^{2}-4b+2b-8=0 \\ \\ 
b(b-4)+2(b-4)=0 \\ \\ 
(b+2)(b-4)=0 \\ \\ 
b=-2, b=4$

Thus, b=-2 and b=4 are the illegal values for this expression
