14        20

----  =  -----  cross multiply

3x       x-5


14(x-5) = 3x (20)

14x - 70 = 60x

-14x          -14x

-70 = 36x

/36    /36

-70/36  = x

What is the square root of 500
noname [10]
500 is not a perfect square number. Therefore, find the factors of 500 with the largest perfect square. In this case, 100 is the largest perfect square number in 500.
500= \sqrt{500} ^2

\sqrt{500}=\sqrt{100*5}

\sqrt{500}=\sqrt{100}\sqrt{5}

\sqrt{500}=10\sqrt{5}

If you are simply looking for the calculator result, you will get 22.36

Solve for x and y<br><br> it says i need 20 characters so i’m writing more
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<u> </u><u>For</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

From pythogras theorem:

{ \tt{ {(hypotenuse)}^{2} =  {(adjacent)}^{2}  +  {(opposite)}^{2}  }} \\ { \tt{ {(7 + 3)}^{2}  =  \{( {x}^{2} + 9) \} {}^{2} +  {y}^{2}   }} \\ { \tt{100 = ( {x}^{4}  + 18 {x}^{2} + 81) +  {y}^{2}  }} \\ { \tt{ {y}^{2}  = 100 -  {x}^{4} -  {18x}^{2}  - 81 -  -  -  - (a) }}

For the second largest inner triangle;

{ \tt{ {y}^{2} =  {7}^{2} +  {x}^{2}   }} \\ { \tt{ {y}^{2}  - = 49 +  {x}^{2}  -  -  -  - (b) }}

Equate (a) and (b):

{ \tt{100 -  {x}^{4}  - 18 {x}^{2} - 81 = 49 +  {x}^{2}  }} \\ { \tt{100 - 49 - 81 =  {x}^{4}  + 19 {x}^{2} }} \\ { \tt{ - 30 =  {x}^{2}( {x}^{2}   + 19x)}} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{for \:  \:  {x}^{2} =  - 30...imaginary \: value }}} \\ {\boxed{ \tt{for \:  \: ( {x}^{2} + 19x ) \:  =  - 30}}} \\ { \tt{ {x}^{2} + 19x + 30 = 0 }} \\ { \tt{}}

solve the equation to get values of x, which will give you y
