This is a right triangle and to solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 60
b = x
c = 65
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
simplify
3600 + = 4225
Now bring 3600 to the right side by subtracting 3600 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 3600 is being added on the left side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
3600 - 3600 + = 4225 - 3600
0 + = 625
= 625
To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...
x = √625
x = 25

Answer:
- inverse operation are used
- the variable needs to be isolated
Step-by-step explanation:
A solution is always of the form ...
variable = something
In order to get this form, the variable needs to be isolated (put by itself on one side of the equal sign).
In general, isolating the variable involves using inverse operations to "undo" whatever is done to the variable. These are generally applied in the reverse order of the operations that are done to the variable. The list of operations done and their order can be identified using the Order of Operations to consider how an equation would be evaluated for some value of the variable.
