I think the question is wrong!
It must be
x-4
___= 5
x+2
Answer: x - 4= 5x + 10
or,-10 -4 = 5x - x
or, -14=4x
or,-14/4= x
Therefore, x = -14/4
Answer:
noted, thanks for the note
Answer:
6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²
Given this,
(3x)² + (4x)² = 10²
9x² + 16x² = 100
25x² = 100
Divide both sides by 25
x² = 4
x = 2
Substitute this into 3x and 4x.
3x = 3 * 2 = 6
4x = 4 * 2 = 8
Thus, the answer is 6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:

from difference of two squares:

therefore:

factorise out ¾ :

You would multiply the orignial price by (10%) converted to decimal to find the discount:
21 * 0.10
=2.10
Then, you subract the discount from the original price to see how much he paid:
21 - 2.10 = $18.90
