No it's a number that can be found in both of the factor lists.
A: -3.25 or -13/4,b:-13/4?????
2x^2-7=4
subtract 4 from both sdies
2x^2-11=0
therefor
2x^2=11
divide by 2
x^2=5.5
square root both sdies
x=-2.345 or 2.345

We know that,
- Pythagoras theoram is given by : p² + b² = h²
- In a Pythagoras triplet, the longest side represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Then,
We should check that, whether the sum of squares of the smaller sides will be equal to the square of the third side or not. Then, we can determine the above easily.
Sum of squares of smaller sides:
= 6² + 8²
= 36 + 64
= 100
Square of longer side:
= 10²
= 100
Sum of squares of smaller sides = Square of longer side. Hence, 6,8,10 are Pythagorean triplets.
And we are done! :D

First, distribute the 100 to the (x-1) portion:
500 = 100x - 100
then, add 100 to both sides of your equation to get “x” alone on the right side:
500 + 100 = 100x - 100 + 100
600 = 100x
next, divide 100x by 100 and 600 by 100 to isolate a singular “x”:
600/100 = 100x/100
6 = x
therefore, x=6 is your solution
