Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x+2)^2 + 4x^2 = (3x+4)^2
(x+2)(x+2)+ 4x^2= (3x+4)(3x+4)
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 4x^2 = 9x^2 + 12x + 12 x + 16
5x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
-4x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
now we can use the quadratic formula
(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
I can't type all this so
.....
x = -0.697224362 or -4.302775638
AB can't be negative so it's the first one
so it's equals to 1.302775638
set up an equation for this. x will be the score of the losing team. x+2x=96. Then solve for x. 3x=96. x=96/3 x=32. So the losing team got 32 points and the winning team got 64
We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.

Answer:
x = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
15(1/2) = 7.5
7.5+6 =13.5
subtract 17 and divide by -1 to isolate x 13.5-17/-1
x = 3.5
