This question is referred to two similar triangles.
One triangle has sides x and x - 2.
The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1
Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>
[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]
=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]
=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x
=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x
=> x - 10 = - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Answer: x = 5

You subtract normally inside the absolute value (the two bars):
-4-3 is -7
Since the negative is INSIDE the absolute, the answer will turn to a positive. Think of the bars as a jail cell for the negatives. Once the negatives are in there, only positive numbers will come out. So your answer is 7.
First, we have to convert our function (of x) into a function of y (we revolve the curve around the y-axis). So:

And the derivative of x:

Now, we can calculate the area of the surface:

We could calculate this integral (not very hard, but long), or use
(1),
(2) and
(3) to get:



Calculate indefinite integral:

And the area:
![A=2\pi\int\limits_0^{10}x\sqrt{4x^2+1}\,dx=2\pi\cdot\dfrac{1}{12}\bigg[\left(4x^2+1\right)^\frac{3}{2}\bigg]_0^{10}=\\\\\\= \dfrac{\pi}{6}\left[\big(4\cdot10^2+1\big)^\frac{3}{2}-\big(4\cdot0^2+1\big)^\frac{3}{2}\right]=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\Big(\big401^\frac{3}{2}-1^\frac{3}{2}\Big)=\boxed{\dfrac{401^\frac{3}{2}-1}{6}\pi}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D2%5Cpi%5Cint%5Climits_0%5E%7B10%7Dx%5Csqrt%7B4x%5E2%2B1%7D%5C%2Cdx%3D2%5Cpi%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B12%7D%5Cbigg%5B%5Cleft%284x%5E2%2B1%5Cright%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Cbigg%5D_0%5E%7B10%7D%3D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B6%7D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbig%284%5Ccdot10%5E2%2B1%5Cbig%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D-%5Cbig%284%5Ccdot0%5E2%2B1%5Cbig%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B6%7D%5CBig%28%5Cbig401%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D-1%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5CBig%29%3D%5Cboxed%7B%5Cdfrac%7B401%5E%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D-1%7D%7B6%7D%5Cpi%7D)
