Product means multiply. I will be representing your number with x
x * 2(x) = 98
2x^2 = 98
x^2 = 49
x = 7
your number is 7. half of your number is 3.5
Difference of 2 perfect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
recognize that
(2x+1)(2x-1)
(a+b)(a-b)
therefor
product is
(2x)^2-(1)^2=
4x^2-1
Hi,
Work:
Equation;

First add up numbers and distribute 9 over parenthesis.

Second: collect like terms.

Move variable 59p to left side and change its sign.

Then move constant 123 to right side and change its sign.

Calculate the difference.

Divide both sides of equation by 59.

Hope this helps.

The area is 192 cm^2
the sides are 20 20 24 with the base being 24
to figure out the height you have to use Pythagorean theorem of the triangle cut in half so 12^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b= 16 = height
b*h* .5= area 16* 24* .5= 192
