Answer:

2x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to subtract 3x + 18 from 5x - 12:

=> 5x - 12 - ( 3x + 18) = 5x - 12 - 3x - 18 = 5x - 3x - 12 - 18 = 2x - 30

The first step was to apply distributive properties to get rid of the parenthesis, after that the terms were arranged and the like terms combined

Answer = 2x - 30

What is the length of the unknown side of the right triangle?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

where<em> a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.

We know that the legs are 5 and 12. We also know the hypotenuse is x, or unknown.

Substitute 5 in for <em>a</em>, 12 for <em>b, </em>and x for <em>c.</em>

<em />5^2+12^2=x^2<em />

Evaluate the exponents.

5^2 is the same as 5*5, which is 25.

12^2 is the same as 12*12, which is 144.

25+144=x^2

Add 25 and 144

169=x^2

We are trying to find out what <em>x</em> is. In order to do this, we have to get <em>x</em> alone. Since x is being squared, take the square root of both sides. The exponent and square root will cancel, leaving x by itself.

\sqrt{169} =\sqrt{x^2} \\\\\sqrt{169}=x\\13=x

The hypotenuse is 13.
