I believe your answer is:

Here’s why:

[tex]\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x'...}}\\\\-8x-4(x-4)=88\\-------------\\\rightarrow -8x-4x+16=88\\\\\rightarrow -12x + 16 = 88\\\\\rightarrow -12x + 16 - 16 = 88 - 16\\\\\rightarrow -12x = 72\\\\\rightarrow \frac{-12x=72}{12}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x=-6}[/tex]

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.  

Answer 2

Answer: x = -6

Step-by-step explanation: Start by changing the - 4 to plus a negative 4 so that you know you're distributing a -4 through the parentheses.

So we have -8x - 4x + 16 = 88.

Simplifying the left side further gives us -12x + 16 = 88.

Now subtract 16 from both sides to get -12x = 72.

From here it should be easy to find the x = -6.

PLS HELP MEEE I NEED HELP TO PASS PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

Answers

Answer:

b=12

Step-by-step explanation:

b^2+35^2=37^2

b^2+1225=1369

b^2=144

b=12,-12

Lengths can't be negative, so b=12

Answer:

b=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

35^2 + b^2 = 37^2

1225+b^2 =1369

b^2 =1369-1225

b^2 = 144

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(144)

b=12

The sum of two numbers is 75. If one exceeds the other by 35, find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

20 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume, we have two numbers 'x' and 'y'.

Now, all we know is:

one number exceeds the other by 35 (i.e  their difference is 35)sum of two numbers is 75

So we form two equations:

x + y = 75_____(i)

and x - y =  35

so, x = y+35 _____(ii)

Put the value of x from (ii) into (i)

x + y = 75

y + 35 + y = 75

2y = 40

y = 20

Put value of y back in (ii)

x = y+35

x = 20 + 35

x = 55

The first number is 20, and the second number is 55.

Given that the sum of two numbers is 75, one exceeds the other by 35, we need to find the numbers.

Let's assume the first number is x.

According to the problem, the second number exceeds the first by 35, so the second number can be expressed as (x + 35).

The sum of the two numbers is given as 75, so we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 35) = 75

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x + 35 = 75

Subtracting 35 from both sides:

2x = 40

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 20

Therefore, the first number is 20, and the second number is (20 + 35) = 55.

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 18 feet. If a square whose sides have the same length as one side of the triangle is built, what will be the area of the square?

Answers

Answer:

36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral means all sides are equally long.

a triangle has 3 sides.

in our case they are all equally long.

and their sum (all 3 sides together) is the perimeter

P = 18 = 3 × side length

side length = 18/3 = 6 ft

a square with the same side length (6) had then an area of

side length × side length = 6×6 = 6² = 36 ft²

it is important to remember : a length is measured e.g. in feet (ft). an area is then meshed in square-feet (ft²). it is important to add this to the calculated numbers to express the right dimension of these numbers.

'A segment of a circle is the region that is bounded by an arc and a chord of the circle.'

According to the given problem,

Area of the circle = πr²

                              = π × 7 × 7 cm²

                              = 153.9 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Area of the Shaded region,

Question 10 The hypotenuse of a right triangle is I m longer than the longer leg. The other leg is 7 m shorter than the longer leg. Determine the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. (3 marks)​

Answers

Answer:

5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the longer leg then x + 1 is the hypotenuse and x - 7 the shorter leg

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + (x - 7)² = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL

x² + x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1

2x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides )

x² - 16x + 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x = 4 , then x - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 ← not possible

x = 12, then x - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 and x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

The lengths of the 3 sides are

longer leg = 12 m , shorter leg = 5 m and hypotenuse = 13 m

Answer:

1. 792 2. 20. 3. 126. 4.1995840

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula C(n,r)= n!/ r/ (n-r)! where n is total quantity of varieties and r is the quantity uou should choose.

1) n=12 (total quantity); r= 7

C(12,7)= 12!/(7! *(12-7)!)= 8*9*10*11*12/ (5*4*3*2)= 8*9*11= 72*11= 792

2) n=6 r=3

C(6,3)= 6!/ (3! * (6-3)!)= 6!/ (3!)^2= 4*5*6/ 3*2= 20.

3) C(9,5)= 9!/ (5!*4!)= 6*7*8*9/ (4*3*2*1)= 2*63= 126

4) You need to choose the whole set which consists of three components that has been defined. Multiply previous results
