15 less than a number S is three more than 9 times a number T. Solve for S

s = 9t + 18

Explanation:

Set up your equation

s - 15 = 9t + 3

Now get s by itself by adding 15 to both sides

s + 0 = 9t + 3 + 15

s = 9t + 18

If you know the value of t, plug that into the equation to solve further.

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm
