The constant in this case is the number without the variable, making the answer A)3.
X should equal 6 and y should equal -9
Answer: 65 and 130
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the shorter leg, then the longer is 6x+22 and the hypotenuse is 6x+23.
x² + (6x+22)² = (6x+23)²
x² + 36x² + 264x + 484 = 36x² + 276x + 529
x² - 12x - 45 = 0
(x+3)(x-15)=0
x=-3 or 15. since you can't have negative length discard-3, then the sides are 15, 112, and 113
