Answer:
q = 2√14
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the value of q, apply the leg rule/geometric mean theorem, which is:
Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part
Hypotenuse = 10 + 4 = 14
Leg = q
Part = 4
Plug in the values into the equation:
14/q = q/4
Cross multiply
q*q = 14*4
q² = 56
q = √56
q = √(4*14)
q = 2√14
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 4 = 3x - 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 2x + 4 = - 5 (subtract 4 from both sides )
- 2x = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x =
OR
-(x + 4) = 3x - 5
- x - 4 = 3x - 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 4x - 4 = - 5 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 4x = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x =
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
| + 4 | = |
| =
right side = - 5 =
left side = right side , thus x = is a solution
check second solution
| + 4 | = |
| =
right side = - 5 = -
right side ≠ left sides, hence not a solution
