Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.

Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.

For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236

For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).

And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.

As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.

236 + x = 500.

Now we have to isolate the x term.

x = 500 - 236

x = 264.

We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).

2c = 264

c = 132

c = s

s = 132.

Both took 132 pictures this year.

Answer:

The length of side x is x = \sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

In a right triangle, with sides a and b, and hypothenuse h, we have that:

a^2 + b^2 = h^2

In this question:

The vertical line on the sides means that both are equal, that is, measuring x, so a = b = x.

Hypothenuse is the square root of 12. So h = \sqrt{12}

x^2 + x^2 = (\sqrt{12})^2

2x^2 = 12

x^2 = \frac{12}{2}

x^2 = 6

x = \sqrt{6}

The length of side x is x = \sqrt{6}
