Which of the following represents the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse in the right triangle shown below.

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
