coordinate of B= (2+3,0) = (5,0)
by pythagoras' theorem,
height of triangle^2 + half length of AB^2 = AC^2
height of triangle^2 = 3^2-1.5^2
height of triangle ^2= 6.75
height of triangle= √6.75
coordinates of C= (1.5,√6.75)
First of all, the first power of 'x' is the highest power in the whole equation,
so we only expect one solution.
You said that <span><u>3x+9 = 21+7x </u>
Subtract 3x from each side:
9 = 21 + 4x
Subtract 21 from each side:
-12 = 4x
Divide each side by 4 :
<u>-3 = x </u>
