The objective is to get the variable (x) alone. To do this start be subtracting 3. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so you have to subtract three from the other side of the equal sign as well. So now you have:
20x= 17-3 subtract the 3 to get 20x=14
Now because the 20 is attached to the x In order to get the x alone you have to divide by 20:
20x/20. =14/20 divide 14 by 20
X=.7 or x=7/10
Root 50^2 - 48^2 = 14ft
The distance of the base is 14ft
Hope this helps!
Answer:
t=7,t=0
Step-by-step explanation:
2t^2-14t+3=3
Subtract 3 from both sides
2t^2 - 14t +3 - 3 = 3-3
Simpilfy
2t^2 -14t = 0
