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: 1¹¹/₂₀ litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions need to be added.

Find a common multiple for them.

Common multiple = 20

Divide the multiple by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the numerator by the result you get:

= \frac{15 + 16}{20} \\\\= \frac{31}{20} \\\\= 1\frac{11}{20}

= 1¹¹/₂₀ litres

Answer:

C. (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ - 2x + 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Distributive Property

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Function Notation
  • Combining Like Terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3ˣ + 10

g(x) = 2x - 4

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

<u>Step 2: Find (f - g)(x)</u>

  1. Substitute:                    (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ + 10 - (2x - 4)
  2. Distribute -1:                 (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ + 10 - 2x + 4
  3. Combine like terms:    (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ - 2x + 14
