---------------------------------------------------
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

Put these points into an equation IN STANDARD FORM!!!!!!<br><br>(0,2) and (8,0)
zubka84 [21]

The equation of the line in standard form is x + 4y = 8

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

From the question, the points are given as

(0, 2) and (8, 0)

To start with, we must calculate the slope of the line

This is calculated using

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Where

(x, y) = (0, 2) and (8, 0)

Substitute the known parameters in Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, we have

Slope = (0 - 2)/(8 - 0)

Evaluate

Slope = -1/4

The equation of the line can be calculated using as

y - y₁ = m(x + x₁)

Where

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 2)

and

m = slope = -1/4

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

y - 2 = -1/4(x - 0)

This gives

y - 2 = -1/4x

Rewrite as

1/4x + y = 2

Multiply by 4

x + 4y = 8

Hence, the line has an equation of x + 4y = 8

The length of a train car is 50.6 feet. this is 5.8 feet less than six time the width. what is the width?
Aliun [14]
Let x be the width of the train; 

50.6ft =6x-5.8ft <--- solve for x 
50.6+5.8=6x 
56.4 ft=6x 
56.4/6=x 
9.4 ft = x 

Therefore the width of the train is 9.4 ft 

Hope I helped :)
