Since the problem states "a number" and again "a number", I assume it;'s the same number. Let the number be x.
12x - 9x = 3x
The difference of twelve times a number and nine times a number is three times the number.
1.
the absolute value of (-3) is 3
4 - 3
1
In 8, 9, 10, all the triangles are similar, meaning corresponding sides have the same ratio.
8. hypotenuse / (short side) = 25/x = x/9
x² = 25*9 = 5²×3²
x = √(5²×3²) = 5*3 = 15
9. (long side) / (short side) = x/7 = 9/x
x² = 7*9
x = √(9*7) = 3√7
10. (short side) / (long side) = x/48 = 48/64
x = 48²/64 = 36
Yo sup??
The words that might fit will be
always
sometimes
never
sometimes
Hope this helps.
