Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorus theorum:
17² = 15² + x²
289 - 225 = x²
√64 = x
∴ x= 8
Top box is 2x
bottom box is 3
You have to use the keywords that register to the problem
(3x − 5) − (4x + 6)
to simplify combine like terms
= (3x - 4x) + (-5 - 6)
= -1x - 11 (same as -x - 11)
ANSWER: -1x - 11 (first choice)
Hope this helps! :)
