The best part of this problem is that it has one unknown variable in the form of "x" and a single equation. So getting to the desired solution becomes very easy.
The equation given in the question is
10 - 5x = 20
- 5x = 20 - 10
- 5x = 10
- x = 10/5
- x = 2
Multiplying both sides with -1 we get
x = -2
So the value of x is -2. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

If (a+b)^2=54, and (a-b)^=46, then a^2+b^2=?

erastovalidia [21]

$(a+b)^2 =a^2 +b^2 + 2ab = 54~~~.....(i)\\\\(a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab = 46~~~.....(i)\\\\\\(i)+(ii):\\\\(a+b)^2 +(a-b)^2 = 54+46\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 + 2ab + a^2 +b^2 - 2ab =100\\\\\implies 2a^2 +2b^2 =100\\\\ \\\implies 2(a^2 +b^2) =100\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 = \dfrac{100}2 = 50$

Determine whether this situation is linear or nonlinear? Explain your reasoning

jenyasd209 [6]

You didn't describe the situation so I can't answer.
However: if the graph of the situation is a straight line then the situation is linear, and if the graph is not a straight line then it is nonlinear.

Neko [114]

Answer:A triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm. The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 10 cm less than the second side. Write and solve an equation to find the length of each side of the triangle.

The sides can be found by taking the square root of the area. , where = side. . So the length of a side is 6.3 cm.
