Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, distrubute 2 to our parentheses (2x - 10). Now, let's add our like terms, 2x - 10 = 4x + 6 since x alone is one we add this to 3x, equaling 4x. Then we're going to move our variable and sign, 2x - 10 - 4x = 6. Alright, now combine like terms and calculate (2x - 4x), we know when we subtract two and four, it's a negative 2, -2x = 6 + 10 = 16. Now divide both sides of the equation by -2, 16 divided by -2 is -8. Therefore, x = -8, hope this helped! Have a great day!

Find the length of the unknown side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The correct option is: 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the length of the unknown side is $x$

So, here the length of hypotenuse is 14 and the lengths of other two sides are 8 and $x$ .

As the given triangle is right angle triangle, so using Pythagorean theorem, we will get.........

$8^2+x^2= 14^2\\ \\ 64+x^2=196\\ \\ x^2=196-64=132\\ \\ x=\sqrt{132}=11.489...\approx 11.5$

(Rounded to the nearest tenth)

So, the length of the unknown side is 11.5
