Answer:
The general plan is to find BM and from that CM. You need 2 equations to do that.
Step One
Set up the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = (4*sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 5^2 = 25
Step Two
Subtract the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 25
(7 - BM)^2 - BM^2 = 7 (3)
Step three
Expand the left side of the new equation labeled (3)
49 - 14BM + BM^2 - BM^2 = 7
Step 4
Simplify And Solve
49 - 14BM = 7 Subtract 49 from both sides.
-49 - 14BM = 7 - 49
- 14BM = - 42 Divide by - 14
BM = -42 / - 14
BM = 3
Step Five
Find CM
CM^2 + BM^2 = 5^2
CM^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 Subtract 3^2 from both sides.
CM^2 = 25 - 9
CM^2 = 16 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(CM^2) = sqrt(16)
CM = 4 < Answer

Step-by-step explanation:
Well right off the bat, I can see a good reason why it should boggle.
If (x+y)=6 and (x-y)=2, then (x+y)(x-y) would be 12. It can't be 20.
The first 4 lines on the paper are inconsistent, so the question in the 5th line can't be calculated.
Another possible source of uncertainty (for us, anyway) is the remarkable similarity between the way you write ' Y ' and the way you write ' 4 ' . For example, look at the ' Y⁴ ' (I think ...) in the last line.
