AB = AC
18 = 3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' theorem for the smallest one :

$c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2$

$c^2 = 16 + 36$

$c^{2}$ = 52

Pythagoras' theorem for the middle one :

$b^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + $a^{2}$

Pythagoras' theorem for the biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + b^2$

Using the formula before (for $b^2$ ) it becomes :

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + (6^2 + a^2)$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + 6^2 + a^2$

$16 + 8a = 52 + 6^2$

16 + 8a = 52 + 36

16+8a = 88

8a = 88-16

8a = 72

$a = \frac{72}{8}$

a = 9

Verifying :

$b^2 = 6^2 + a^2$

$b^2 = 36 + 81$

$b^2 = 117$

$b^{2}$ = 117

The biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$(4+9)^2 = 52 + 117$

$13^2 = 169$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 2)

f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8

f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8
