Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>How can </u><u>we</u><u> factor 5x^2 + 26x - 24 = 0 using the completing the square </u><u>method?</u>
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

First, add 24 to both sides.
Since the coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.
The coefficient of 26/5x is 26/5. So, let b=26/5.
Then we need to add (b/2)²=169/25 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 169/25 to both sides.
Factor the left side.
Take square root.
Then, add (-13)/5 to both sides.

Answer:
The value of x is 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of x, we first need to find the scale factor. We can find this by dividing any side of the larger triangle with the corresponding part of the smaller triangle.
28/7 = 4
This means everything in the larger triangle is 4 times as great as the smaller triangle. Knowing this, we can set the larger hypotenuse equal to 4 times the smaller.
6x + 28 = 4(25)
6x + 28 = 100
6x = 72
x = 12
