Find x, y, and z.
answer options:
x = 5, y = 9, z ≈ 4.5
x ≈ 4.5, y = 5, z = 9
x ≈ 4.5, y = 9, z = 5
x = 9, y ≈ 4.5, z = 5

x=4.5,y=5,z=9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we use the pythagorean theorem in the lower right triangle (with sides 4,x,6) and find x^2+4^2=6^2 and therefore x^2=6^2-4^2=20 so x=√20 which is approximately 4.5.

Also, we can see from the picture that z=y+4, and therefore the only option left is x=4.5,y=5,z=9.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
