Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel's house, his parents house, and grandparents house can be expressed as the three vertices of a right angled triangle. Thus, Pythagoras theorem can be applied to determine the distance from Manual's house to that of his grandparents.

Let the distance from Manuel's house to that of his grandparents be represented by x, so that;

/Hyp/^{2} = /Adj 1/^{2} + /Adj 2/^{2}

/10/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /6/^{2}

100 = x^{2} + 36

x^{2} = 100 - 36

   = 64

⇒ x = \sqrt{64}

      = 8

x = 8 miles

Thus, Manuel's house is 8 miles from his grandparents house.

2x+3y=12 find four solutions​
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

y = 0 and x = 6

y = 2 and x = 3

y = 4 and x = 0

y = 6 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=12 is the equation of a straight line.

There are infinite number of solutions, but here you're probably looking for solutions where x and y are whole numbers. Trial and error will find you some, although if you examine the equation closely you see that if x is a multiple of 3 and y is a multiple of 2, then they produce terms that are the LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 3, namely 6. That's the logic in the whole number solutions.
