<h3>4 times a number increased by 3.</h3>
When we have a number that appears
right before a variable, it means multiplication.
So 4n means the same thing as 4 times a number.
Remember, n is a variable which is just a
letter that represents any number.
Since we are adding 3 to 4n, we can say
4 times a number increased by 3.
So 4n + 3 can be written as 4 times a number increased by 3.
Answer: 51 uinits
The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27.
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.
----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²
x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729
x² - 12x -288 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0
x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)
----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units
