x = 2 + 2 - 2 = 4

hope it helps! :D

\bf \begin{cases}
x+2\\\\
x-2
\end{cases}
\begin{cases}\qquad 
product\\
----------\\
(x+2)(x-2)\to x^2-4\leftarrow \textit{difference of squares anyway}\\\\
\textit{double that product}\\
----------\\
\boxed{2(x^2-4)}
\\\\\\
\textit{sum of their squares}\\
----------\\
(x+2)^2+(x-2)^2\\\\
\textit{16 less than that}\\
----------\\
\boxed{(x+2)^2+(x-2)^2-16}
\end{cases}

so.. for what values of "x", are those two expressions, equal to each other then?

well \bf 2x^2-8=x^2\underline{+2x}+4+x^2\underline{-2x}+4-16
\\\\\\
2x^2-8=2x^2+8-16\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
2x^2-8&=&2x^2-8\\
same&=&same
\end{array}

for a system of equations, the solutions are where the graph converge, or intersect

well, in this case, the left-hand-side expression is exactly the same as the right-hand-side expression
 
so.. if you were to graph the one on the left-hand-side, it's just a parabola shifted vertically down by 8units

if you were to graph the right-hand-side expression, it will be exactly the same, just the same parabola right on top of the other, pancaked on one another

when both expressions are equal, the system has "infinite number of solutions", which is another way to say, for all values of "x", there's a solution

so.. for what values for "x" are those two expressions equal? for all values of "x"  or (-\infty,+\infty)\quad or\quad x\in \mathbb{R}, if you like an interval or set notation

Express 120 as a product of its prime factors.
raketka [301]
By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, all number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers.

So naturally, lets divide 120 by an easy prime number.
We know that 120 is even, so lets try 2 120/2 = 60 lets keep dividing it by two until it becomes odd or prime 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 now lets see, what are some factors of 15?

Well the obvious ones are 3 and 5, both of which are prime. So now we can just count up how many times we divided it by 2
 
120/2 = 60 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 and 15 is just 3 x 5, so: <span>
120=(<span>23</span>)×(3)×(5)</span>
or <span><span>
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5</span></span>
