Answer:
a² = b² -w² +2wx
Step-by-step explanation:
The algebra is pretty straightforward. Expand the expression in parentheses and add x².
b² -(w -x)² = e² = a² -x²
b² -(w² -2wx +x²) = a² -x² . . . . . expand the square
b² -w² +2wx -x² = a² -x² . . . . . . distribute the minus sign
b² -w² +2wx = a² . . . . . . . . . . . . add x²
I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.
[8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]
If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself
When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)
-32 ≥ x [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]
