Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet

Yesterday a chef used 36 eggs to make 8 chocolate souffles and 3 lemon meringue pie. The day before, he made 2 chocolate souffle

Masteriza [31]

Answer: Well first one chocolate souffles uses 3 eggs and each lemon maringue uses 4

Step-by-step explanation: First what i did was look at the question and it shows that there is two sets, so you have to plug in some random numbers and i started at o and if you do 8*1 you would have 1 egg per each souffles and you would have 28 eggs left and that won't work because 28/3 gives some long and then i tried 2... and 8*2 is 16 so you would have 20 eggs left and of course another long answer. But if you try three, 8*3 it gives you 24 so 36-24 and you get 12 and 3*4 is 12.. so then i plugged the same numbers in for the second part.. 3*2=6 and 4*2=8 and 6+8=14

if you need better more im here to help... have a good dayy!! (✿◡‿◡)
