Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2= c^2
a= one side= 68 mi
b= second side= 80 mi
c= hypotenuse= Greenville to Columbia mi
a^2 + b^2= c^2
68^2 + 80^2= c^2
square each number
4,624 + 6,400= c^2
11,024= c^2
take square root of both sides
104.995 mi= c
ANSWER: The distance from Greenville to Columbia is 104.995 miles (rounded to 105 miles).

Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x - 2 = 4x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
- x - 2 = 5 ( add 2 to both sides )
- x = 7 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 7 ← the one solution
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
14 = 6x4 + b
14 = 24 + b
-10 = b

No unless they are near each other and it says they are together ........
