Answers:  

hypotenuse = 20 feet

longer leg = 16 feet

======================================================

Explanation:

c = x = length of the hypotenuse

a = x-4 = length of one of the legs

b = 12 = length of the other leg

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2

144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2

144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel

160-8x = 0

160 = 8x

8x = 160

x = 160/8

x = 20 is the hypotenuse

x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg

--------

Check:

12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400

20^2 = 400

Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.

Which expression is equivalent to 7(a+2) when a=6?<br> 7(6)<br> 9(6)<br> 7(6)+2<br> 7(6)+14
Pie

It is equivalent to 7(6) + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Solve 7(a + 2) when a = 6

⇒ 7 (6 + 2) = 7 × 8 = 56

  • Step 2: Find its equivalent

7(6) + 14 = 42 + 14 = 56

If f(x)= 2(3x²-2x+2). Find:<br><br>A) f(x+1)<br>B) f(3)​<br>C) f(y-2)
ExtremeBDS [4]
A) f(x+1) = 6x^2 + 8x + 6
1) substitute the value of x as (x+1)
2) 2(3(x+1)^2 -2(x+1) +2)
3) 6(x^2 + 2x + 1)
4) 6x^2 + 8x + 6

B) f(3) = 46
1) simplify the expression first
2) 6x^2 -4x + 4
3) Now just substitute 3: 6(3)^2 -4(3) + 4
4) 6•9 - 12 + 4 = 46

I hope this helps :)

Solve the Equation p+5/8=15/16?
Sphinxa [80]
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get: 
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
