Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand parenthesis on left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

however, x > 0 , then x = 6

Simplify: -2/5 + 4/3
hoa [83]

Answer:

14/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the fractions to have the same denominator

Remember that you can only add fractions with the same denominator

To find the common denominator, find the LCM of 5 and 3 which is 15.

-2/5 * 3/3 = -6/15 and 4/3 * 5/5 = 20/15

-6/15 + 20/15 = 14/15

hope this helps! <3
