Answer:

The equation is

X²+2x-48 = 0

Shorter one is 6 inches

Other side= 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a right angle triangle normally is

A² = B² + C²

Where A = hypotenuse

Then B and C are the order sides of the triangle.

This time

Hypotenuse= 10 inches

The shorter one is X

While the other one is X+2

The equation

10²= x² +(x+2)²

100= x² + x² + 4x +4

100 - 4 = 2x² +4x

96= 2x² +4x

48 = x² +2x

X²+2x-48 = 0

Solving for x

X² +8x-6x-48= 0

X(x+8)-6(x+8)=0

(X-6)(x+8)= 0

X= 6 or x= -8

Definitely x is posiy

So x= 6

Shorter one is 6 inches

Other side= 6+2= 8 inches

Answer:

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money need to spend at most = $45

Money spent on Yoga ball = $15

We need to find how much money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift.

Solution:

Let the money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Money spent on Yoga ball plus money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift should be less than or equal to Total money need to spend.

framing in equation form we get;

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

On solving the the above Inequality we get;

we will subtract both side by 15 using subtraction property of Inequality.

Hence Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.
