17. The Pythagorean Theorem for a right triangle is a? + b2 = c2, where
a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is its hypotenuse. The shorter
leg is 10 inches less than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 10 inches
longer than that other leg. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
a) 30 inches
b) 40 inches
c) 50 inches
d) 60 inches

b

step-by-step explanation:

i believe that the slope of the line is -5

step-by-step explanation:

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
