<span> x^2 +(x-4)^2 =20^2</span>
<span> x^2 +(x-4)^2 =400</span>
x^2 +(x-4)^2 -400=0
factor:
2x^2-8x-384=0
Factor the 2 out of 2X^2
2(x-16) (x+12) =0
<span> Divide both sides by 2</span>
(x-16) (x+12) =0
X=16 , x=-12
<span> Number cannot be negative so x=16</span>
Answer:
x=-2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
4(-3x-1)=13x+6 ~ Distribute the 4 into the parenthesis
-12x-4 = 13x+6 ~ add 12x to both sides
-4= 25x + 6 ~ subtract 6 from both sides
-10 =25x ~ divide by 25
-10/25 = x ~ simplify the fraction by dividing the num. and den by 5
-2/5 =x
