We can solve for the value of x using pythagorean theorem

where c is the hypotenuse ( in this case is 15) and a, b are the other legs of the triangle ( in this case is 8 and x).
Let's substitute the given values to the formula

Now please follow this solution to solve for x in:
So let's simplify the equation first.
9x + 12 - 5 = ax + b
9x + 7 = ax + b
9x - ax - b = 7
Alright now plug in the numbers for each option.
I don't feel like doing all of them but I did A (one solution) and B (no solution because the two 9x's cancel out).
-5+5 is the pair that the sum is 0
Question:
Sam is delivering two refrigerators that each weigh 105 kilograms. There is an
elevator with a weight limit of 1,000 pounds. Can he take both refrigerators on the
elevator in one trip? (1 kilogram 2.2 pounds)
Answer: yes he can
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes he can.
He can if the total weight of the 2 refrigerator didn't exceed the weight limit of the elevator.
Therefore:
Since 1 refrigerator weigh 105kg
2 refrigerator = 2 x 105kg = 210kg
The weight limit of the elevator 1000pounds convert to kg.
Since
2.2 pounds = 1kg
1000 pounds = 1000/2.2 kg
=454.55kg
Weight limit of the elevator = 454.55kg.
Since Weight of the 2 refrigerator is less than
weight limit of the elevator, he can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip
<em>q(x)=8x-7</em> is your equation.
When x = 4
Plug in 4 for x
q(4) = 8(4) - 7
Follow PEMDAS. Multiply 8 with 4
q(4) = 32 - 7
Subtract
q(4) = 25
(D) 25 is your answer
hope this helps
