Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle BDC is a right triangle (If you dont understand I can explain in depth). Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD. The pythagorean theorem states that the length of the smaller legs squared = the longest side squared. So we can set up the equation
+
=
where x is the length of the missing side (BD). If we were to solve for x, (I think you should know how to do this but if not I can explain), you get 12
1a+-1+a I believe that would be the answer
Solve the second equation using the given choices:
Y = 3x + 6
Replacing x with the given choices and matching the y values the answer is the second choice
(0,6) and (-2,0)
2 - 0.5n= 3n+16
----------------------- subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
-0.5n = 3n+14
----------------------- then subtract -3n from both sides as well
-3n -3n
-3.5n = 14
--------------- divide -3.5 on each side
-3.5 -3.5
simplify
Answer: n= -4
