Can you add additional information about the problem?
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 4x
b = x + 2
c = 3x + 4
Solution
(4x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (3x + 4)^3 Remove all the brackets.
16x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Collect like terms on the left
17x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Subtract the terms on the right
8x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
This factors into
(4x - 12)(2x + 1)
There are 2 answers
4x - 12 = 0
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
or
2x + 1 = 0
2x = - 1
x = - 1/2
You have to look at x = -1/2 carefully. The problem is that 4x = 4*(-1/2) = - 2 which is not possible in Euclidean Geometry.
So the only answer is x = 3
Remember you said the scale shows you 10% heavier.
So that's an increase of 10%
So value = 10% + 100% = 110%
So scale would show 110% of 82
110% of 82
= (110/100) * 82
= 1.1 * 82
= 90.2
OR
We can simply find 10% of 82 and add it to the original 82.
10% of 82
(10/100) * 82
0.1 * 82 = 8.2
8.2 + 82 = 90.2 Same answer as before.
So scale shows 90.2 kg.
I hope this helps you
