Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

x^2 + ( x+ 10)^ 2 = 50^2\\\\x^2 + (x^2 + 100 + 20x ) = 2500\\\\x^2 + x^2 + 20x = 2500 - 100 \\\\2x^2 + 20x = 2400\\\\2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0\\\\2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0\\\\x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0\\\\x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0\\\\x(x + 40 ) -30(x + 40) = 0\\\\(x+40)(x - 30) = 0\\\\x = -40, \ x = 30

Since x is the measurement of a side, it can't be negative. Therefore x = 30

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

here 50 is hypotenuse as it is opposite of 90 degree.

x and x + 10 are the two other smaller sides of a right angled triangle respectively.

using pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2

x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0

2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0

x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0

x^2 + (40 - 30) - 1200 = 0

x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

x(x + 40) - 30(x + 40x) = 0

(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

either x + 40 = 0          OR x - 30 = 0

x = 0 - 40

x = -40

x - 30 = 0

x = 30

x = -40,30

since the length and distance is not measured in negative ur answer will be 30

x−6=23

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.

x−6+6=23+6

x=29

Use technology to approximate the solution(s) to the system of equations to the nearest tenth of a unit.
kodGreya [7K]
The technology I used in helping me solve the problem is using Microsoft Excel. I made one column for the x values which were gathered from the choices, one column for f(x) whose equation is 8^(x-9), and another column for g(x) whose equation is log(3x) + 2. 

Inputing these equation to the last two columns yield the values shown in the picture.The 'NUM' means that the equation at that value of x is undefined. From the values, the correct solution would be 

(0,0), (9.2,1.5) and (9.6,3.5) to the f(x) equation
(9.6,3.5) to the g(x) equation
