Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

<span><u>Answer </u>
31.12 in

<u>Explanation </u>
To get the length required, lets first find angle mF,
mF = 180 – (43 + 62) =75o
Now we can use the sin rule to find length DE.
a/sin⁡A =b/sin⁡B Where a and b are the length opposite to angle A and B respectively.
DE/sin75=22/sin⁡43
DE=(22 sin⁡75)/sin⁡43
DE=31.12 in

Elena L [17]
22 is the average of the numbers 20,17,24,18,29, and x is what I guess the qusetion is

count them
6 numbers

(20+17+24+18+29+x)/6=22
(108+x)/6=22
times both sides by6 to clear fraction
108+x=132
minus 108 from both sides
x=24
