Answer:

x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 202

x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 202

2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 202

2x^2 + 4x - 198 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

x = -2/2 ± √((2/2)^2 - (-99))

x = 9 or x = -11

-11 is not a positive number so the number is 9.

|5x|+5=45 can you explain this absloute value equation i have a midterm

Ymorist [56]

So first, you get the absolute value to one side:
$|5x|+5=45\\
|5x|=40$

Next, set up two equations; One where the value inside the absolute value lines is positive, and another where it is negative, and solve both for the variable:
$|5x|=40\\5x=40\\x=\frac{40}{5}=8\\\\-5x=40\\x=\frac{40}{-5}=-8$

Your answers are 8 and -8, or +-8.
