<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We can use the following rule of surds to solve the problem:
,
which means that when multiplying two numbers with the same bases, we can simply add their powers while keeping the base the same.
Applying this rule:
⇒ 
⇒ 
There's more than one way to do this problem.
Try this: Mult. both 109 and 5 by 2, obtaining 218 and 10.
What is 218 div. by 10? Do this in your head.
Answer:
12cm and 16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle = 20cm
let the other two sides be x and y;
The difference;
x = y - 4
Problem:
Find x and y;
Solution:
According to the pythagoras theorem;
x² + y² = 20² ------ i
x² + y² = 400 ----- i
and x - y = 4 ---- ii
So; x = 4 + y
Now input the value into equation (i);
(y + 4)² + y² = 400
(y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400
y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0
2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;
y² + 4y - 192 = 0
Factorize the equation;
y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0
y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0
(y-12)(y + 16) = 0
y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0
y = 12 or -16
It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;
since;
x - y = 4,
x = 4 + 12
x = 16

The proof is attached
Answer: 12x-6=14x-2
We move all terms to the left:
12x-6-(14x-2)=0
We get rid of parentheses
12x-14x+2-6=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-2x-4=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-2x=4
x=4/-2
x=-2
