Answer: x-2=0 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
13x + 7 = 5x - 20
13x - 5x = -20 - 7
8x = -27
x = (-27 / 8)
x = -(27/8)
If B lies along the positive x-axis, then the coordinate of B is (12, 0). Since the right angle is at B and BC is 5, it means that C is 5 units above B.
Therefore, the coordinate of C is (12, 5)
First let's review how to expand this!
(ax+b)^2=a^2*x^2+2abx+a^2
In this case
(2x^2+1/2)^2=2^2*x^2+2*1/2*2x+(1/2)^2
=4x^2+2x+1/4
Done!
