Use substitution
3x = 2(-6x + 18) + 14
3x = -12x + 36 + 14
3x = -12x + 50
15x = 50, x = 50/15 = 10/3
Solution: x = 10/3

1. -4x + 5 = 2x - 7<br> 2. 6x - 8 = 4x + 2<br> 3. -3x - 5 = 2x + 10

Answer: 1. x=2

2. x=5

3.x=-3

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

A right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 12, and one side length of 9. find the missing side length. do the side lengths form

Rina8888 [55]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

$9^2+b^2=12^2$

$81+b^2=144$ <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

$b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}$

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ .

$b=3\sqrt{7}$ is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>
