Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use  the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (2x-2)^2

FOIL (x+2)^2 = x^2 +2x+2x+4 = x^2 +4x+4

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

Replacing these in to the equation

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

Combine like terms

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

Subtract 4 from each side

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

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

Subtract 2x^2 from each side

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

4x = 2x^2 -8x

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x = 2x^2 -8x-4x

0 = 2x^2 -12x

Factor out a 2x

0 = 2x(x-6)

Using the zero product property

2x =0  x-6 =0

x =0  x-6+6 = 0+6

x = 0  c=6

Write (8 x 10) + (6 x 1) +(2 x 0.1) + (7 x 0.001) with words.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Eight times ten plus six times one plus two times one-tenth plus seven times one-thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

(8 x 10) = eight times ten

(6 x 1) = six times one

(2 x 0.1) = two times one-tenth

(7 x 0.001) = seven times one-thousandth

I am not always the best with the equations to words stuff, so please comment if I am wrong!
