Answer:

(17,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1.

x=5y+2

Equation 2.

x-4y=5

To solve with substitution, it looks like the x-variable in the first equation is already isolated. So, plug the first equation into the x-variable in the second equation.

x-4y=5

(5y+2)-4y=5

y+2=5

y=3

Now that we found y, plug y into one of the equations to solve for x.

x=5y+2

x=5(3)+2

x=15+2

x=17

Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The first set: 8, 15, and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the pythagorean theorem, a triangle is a right triangle if and only if

$\text{longest side}^2 = \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

In this case,

$\text{longest side}^2 = 17^2 = 289$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 8^2 + 15^2\\ &=64 + 225 = 289 \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, indeed $\text{hypotenuse}^2 = \text{first leg}^2 + \text{second leg}^2$ . Hence, 8, 15, 17 does form a right triangle.

Similarly, check the other pairs. Keep in mind that the square of the longest side should be equal to the sum of the square of the two

Factor out the common factor $2$ to simplify the calculations.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 20^2 = 400$

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 10^2 + 15^2\\ &=100 + 225 = 325 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = (2\times 11)^2 = 2^2 \times 121$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= (2 \times 6)^2 + (2 \times 9)^2\\ &=2^2 \times(36 + 81) = 2^2 \times 117 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 11^2 = 121$ .

<h3> $\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 7^2 + 9^2\\ &=49+ 81 = 130 \end{aligned}$ .</h3>

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.
