Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
Answer:
4th option, 5 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
8 1/2 - 2 2/3
= 17/2 - 8/3
= (51-16)/6
= 35/6
= 5 5/6

Answer:
274560
Step-by-step explanation:
We can "choose" one of the 66 athletes for the gold medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 65 athletes left.
We can then "choose" one of the 65 athletes left for the silver medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 64 athletes left.
We can then "choose" one of the 64 athletes left for the bronze medal.
That leaves us with 66 possible choices * 65 possible choices * 64 possible choices=274560 possible choices
Answer:
y = 6/5 x-1 slope intercept form
6x-5y = 5 standard form
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the points (0,-1) and (-5,-7)
We can find the slope using
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-7--1)/(-5-0)
= (-7+1)/(-5-0)
= -6/-5
= 6/5
We also have the y intercept ( when x=0) It is -1
We can use the slope intercept form of the equation y = mx+b
y = 6/5 x-1
Depending on what you mean when you say simplify your answer
We can put it in standard form ax+by = C
Multiply both sides by 5
5y =5* 6/5 x-1*5
5y = 6x-5
Subtract 6x from each side
-6x+5y = 6x-6x-5
-6x+5y = -5
Multiply by -1
6x-5y = 5
