Multiply and solve for x: x(x + 12) – 8x = 14 + x(x – 4)

1 answer:

6 0

Using the distribution method:

x^2 + 12x - 8x = 14 + x^2 - 4x

x^2 + 4x = x^2 - 4x + 14

Now, I'm isolating x by moving all the x's onto one side of the equation:

x^2 - x^2 + 4x + 4x = 14

Combine like terms (x^2 cancels out):

8x = 14

x = 14/8

Simplified: x = 7/4

Leona [35]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, its angles are all 90 degrees. So, cutting a square in half into two triangles from corner to corner produces 45 degree angles on both sides. Since the triangles are now 45-45-90 triangles, we can use the rule where the hypotenuse of the triangle is equal to the square root of 2 times the length of either side. So, the side length is 6.
