Question
---------------------------------------------------
x - 2 = √<span>(x + 10) 

---------------------------------------------------
Square both sides
</span>---------------------------------------------------
(x - 2)² = (√(x + 10))²
(x - 2)² = (x + 10)   ← square and square root would will net off each other

---------------------------------------------------
Remove brackets
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 2² = x + 10
x² - 4x + 4 = x + 10

---------------------------------------------------
minus x + 10 on both sides
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 4 - x - 10 = 0
x² - 5x - 6 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Factorise the left side
---------------------------------------------------
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property 
---------------------------------------------------
x -6 = 0  or  x +1 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Solve x
---------------------------------------------------
x = 6 or x = -1

---------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 6 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of a parallelogram, the formula is Area=base*height

In this case, the base is 14ft and the height is 12ft

so,

14ft*12ft=168ft^2

He needs 168ft or fabric to cover the area

Evan randomly selects 30 marbles from a bag. His data is given in the table.
Igoryamba
The probability of selecting a yellow marble is #of yellow marbles/total # of marbles= 6/30 or .2 or 20%

If there are 300 marbles in the bag, a good estimate for the total number of red marbles in the bag is 90.

9/30=.3 = the percentage of red marbles
.3(300) = 90
