Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x+4) - 3 = 1

First get the sqrt all by itself on one side of the equation. Add 3 to both sides of the equation.

sqrt(x+4) = 1 + 3

sqrt(x+4) = 4

To "fix" the sqrt, that is, "undo it" and get rid of it, you have to SQUARE both sides of the equation.

(sqrt(x+4))^2 = 4^2

x + 4 = 16

subtract 4 to finish up.

x = 12

Check:

sqrt(12 + 4) - 3 = 1

sqrt16 - 3 = 1

4 - 3 = 1

1 = 1 Check!

Richard s kitchen floor measures 22 ft by 16ft. He plans on laying title down and each tile piece measures 16 inches by 16 inche

olya-2409 [2.1K]

We calculate the floor area of the kitchen:
A = (22) * (16)
A = 352 feet ^ 2
We consider the following conversion:
1 foot = 12 inches.
Applying the conversion we have:
A = 352 * (12/1) ^ 2
A = 50688 in ^ 2
We calculate the area of each tile:
A = (16) * (16)
A = 256 in ^ 2
Then, the number of tiles is given by:
N = (50688) / (256)
N = 198
Answer:
He needs to buy 198 tiles

Find the length of the missing side using the pythagorean theorem

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²

You can fill in the numbers you know: a²+4²=5²

(Hypotenuse must be side c)

Square those numbers and you have: a²+16=25

Subtract 16 from both sides: a²=9

Square root both sides and you get: a=3
