This is the question that's gonna put me over the top and make me a Brainly Genius. Of course working for free doing middle school math homework doesn't really sound like a genius, but I'm doing it anyway.

This one is the Pythagorean Theorem of course:

(x+3)^2 + (x+4)^2 = (x+10)^2

x^2 + 6x + 9 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 20 x + 100

x^2  - 6x - 75 = 0

The Shakespeare Quadratic Formula (2b or -2b) is a little shortcut for the quadratic formula when the middle term is even.

x^2-2bx+c \textrm{ has zeros } x=b\pm \sqrt{b^2-c}

So we get

x = 3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 -(-75)} = 3 \pm \sqrt{84} = 3 \pm 2 \sqrt{21}

The minus root is less than -6 giving negative sides, so we reject it and conclude

x = 3 +  2 \sqrt{21}

Choice C

When I hit Add I officially become a Genius. Maybe I should retire.

What is the value of x? (ANSWER QUICK)
Katen [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Formula:</u> 2 (a + b)

2 (5.5x - 1.5 + 6x + 2.5) = 94

11x − 3 + 12x + 5 = 94

23x + 2 = 94

23x = 92

16x-10y=10<br>-8x-6y=6<br><br>can someone help me understand this question?
kkurt [141]
This is a system of equations, and I am assuming that you are being asked to solve it.

This is finding the point where these two lines intersect.

The key to solving these algebraically is finding one part in terms of another part and substituting.

We can solve this system by Gaussian elimination, first by multiplying the second equation in its entirety by 2, so that the x-terms will cancel.

We have 
16x-10y=10
and 
2(-8x-6y=6).

The last equation is rewritten as -16x-12y=12.

Now, we cancel the x-terms.

16x-10y=10
-16x-12y=12

-22y=22 \\ y = -1

We have our value for y, so we just plug this back into any of the original equations to get x.

16x-10(-1)=10\\16x=0\\x=0

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is the point (0,-1).
