Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided we can create two different equations for this system. The first of which would be Fred's overall weight, while the second equation would be Fred's and Barney's combined weight. These equations would be the following...

F = 2B - 40

320 = F + B

As requested I will not solve the system of equations and leave them as they are.

(x+6)^(1/2)-5=x+1
(x+6)^(1/2)=x+6
((x+6)^(1/2))^2=(x+6)^2
x+6=x^2+12x+36
0=x^2+11x+30
(-11+(11^2-4(1)(30))^(1/2))/2
(-11+((1)^(1/2))/2
(-11+1)/2=-5
(-11-1)/2=-6
((-6)+6)^1/2-5=(-6)+1
(0^(1/2))-5=-5
-6 is non-extraneous
((-5)+6)^1/2-5=(-5)+1
(1^1/2)-5=-4
1-5=-4
-4=-4
-5 is non-extraneous

What is the value of x?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras Theorem

x² + 16² = 34²

x² + 256 =  1156

x² = 1156 - 256

x² = 900

x= √3*3*10*10

x= 3*10

x = 30
