Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.

Answer:
1.a=2
2. C x=2 and x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the quadratic function is
ax^2 +bx+c
so we need to rewrite the function to be in this form
2x^2 -10 = 7x
Subtract 7x from each side
2x^2 -7x-10 = 7x-7x
2x^2 -7x-10 = 0
a =2, b= -7 c=-10
2. The quadratic formula is
-b ± sqrt(b^2 -4ac)
----------------------------
2a
2x^2 + 2x=12
Lest get the equation in proper form
2x^2 + 2x-12 = 12-12
2x^2 +2x-12 =0
a=2 b=2 c=-12
Lets substitute what we know
-2 ± sqrt(2^2 -4(2)(-12))
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(4+96)
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(100)
