How should I solve for x and what is x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

16^2 + x^2 = 20^2

256 +x^2 = 400

Subtract 256 from each side

256-256 +x^2 = 400-256

x^2 =144

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(144)

x = 12

Solve for x using the<br> distributive property.<br> -2(-3+ x) = -4<br> X =<br> [?]
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(-3+ x) = -4

Distribute

-2 * -3 + (-2) *x = -4

6 -2x = -4

Subtract 6 from each side

6 -2x-6 = -4-6

-2x = -10

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = -10/-2

x = 5

6.1 Practice Assignment<br> Find the measure of angle 1?<br> pls help
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

79 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find the interor angles.

Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle...180-(27+52)=101 degrees

And the bottom line is a straight line so it's equal to 180 degrees as well.

180-101=79 degrees
