(2,3) is your answer for the equation
You need to work backwards
if it is no more than 9 units away from 8
thus x must be 8-9<x<8+9 solving -1<x<17
so the answer is 4.
Answer:
First find the hypotenuse of the small triangle then use that value as the base of the upper triangle. Evaluate the equation formed with the “x"
Multiply the first bracket by -2
Multiply the second bracket by 2
x-3-12+4x= 4x-10
- negative number times + positive number= - negative number
- negative number times -negative number = + positive number
x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10
5x-15= 4x-10
Move 4x to the other side
5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10
x-15= -10
Move -15 to the other side
x-15+15= -10+15
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
