First subtract 4 from both sides

then simplify

add -5 to both sides

since a variable shouldn't be negative the answer should be

(I prefer having the variable on the left side)
Notice below the picture
the one on the left-hand-side, is the 30-60-90 rule
those are the ratios, for 16), the hypotenuse (slanted side), is 4
for the ratios, that means that 4 = 2x, if you solve that for "x", that simply means "x" is 2
now, just use that value you found for "x" from the hypotenuse ratio, and use it to get the other two sides
what's the perimeter? all three sides added together
for 17)
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of a monomial contained within the polynomial. The degree of the monomial is the sum of the exponents on the variables. Example, the degree of -4x^6y is 6+1=7.
Example, the degree of 4x^8 is 8.
So the degree of 5x^4 is 4.
The degree of 3x^2 is 2.
The degree of 1 is 0 since there is no variable in this expression.
So the degree of 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 + 1 is 4.
