When using distributive property for this it’s gonna be 5(5.75+4.25)
So 5•5.75=28.75
5•4.25=21.25
So then 28.75+21.25=50
Example:

This suggests two solutions,

and

.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

which checks out, but

does not because

is defined only for

(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call

an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is

.
Answer:
How do I have the same problem as a high schooler when im in 6th grade
Step-by-step ex

X is 50. The lengths of the radii extending out from the center to the chords are the same length, therefore, the chords are the same distance from the center and have the same measure.
