The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"

sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-x+10) = x+2 ... add x to both sides
-x+10 = (x+2)^2 ... square both sides
-x+10 = x^2+4x+4 ... use FOIL
x^2+5x-6 = 0 ... get everything to one side; combine like terms
(x-1)(x+6) = 0 ... factor
x-1=0 or x+6 = 0 ... zero product property
x = 1 or x = -6  .... solve each sub-equation for x

The possible solutions are x = 1 or x = -6. We need to check each of those solutions

Let's check x = 1
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-1+10)-1 = 2
sqrt(9)-1 = 2
3-1 = 2
2 = 2
So x = 1 has been confirmed

Let's check x = -6
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-(-6)+10)-(-6) = 2
sqrt(6+10)+6 = 2
sqrt(16)+6 = 2
4+6 = 2
10 = 2
The last equation is false, so x = -6 is extraneous. It's not a true solution

----------------------------------

In summary, the value x = 1 is the only solution

PLEASE HELP ASAP I’LL MARK BRAINLIEST Find the area of the figure.
Sonbull [250]
Area of a semicircle is 1/2* πr^2
Area of a square is s^2


Square’s area: 4mm^2

The radius is 3mm
Plug into the equation

1/2* π(3^2)
1/2* π(9)

We can use 3.14 as an estimate of pi

1/2*28.26

14.13mm^2

Now just add them both

Total area 18.13mm^2
