Solve for x (see image)

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 24^2 = ( 12+x)^2

FOIL the right side

x^2 +576 = 144 + 24x + x^2

Subtract x^2 from each side

576 = 144 + 24x

Subtract 144 from each side

576-144 = 24x

432 = 24x

Divide each side by 24

432/24 = 24x/24

18=x

black/brown

step-by-step explanation:

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
