Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for a variable, you need to get the variable on one side of the equation, and by itself.
4x + 5 = x + 8
4x = x + 3 --- subtract 5 from both sides
3x = 3 --- subtract x from both sides
x = 1 --- divide both sides by 3
This is a difference of perfect squares which is of the form:
(a^2-b^2)
And which always factors to:
(a-b)(a+b)
In this case:
(5x-8)(5x+8)
Area formula: L · W · H
Length: 0.5
Width: 5
Height: 5
Answer: 12.5²
(It's squared because 5√2 contains a square root.)
