11. Take the logarithm, base X.
a² - ab = 10
Since we are given that b = a - 2, we can substitute for b to get
a² - a(a -2) = 10
a² - a² + 2a = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
a = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, divide by 2
_____
Check: a² = 5² = 25
ab = 5·3 = 15
X^25/X^15 = X^10 . . . . . the answer works
Elaine's would be because.16 is closer to being a whole than .016
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The question tells us that m∠JKL is 54. We see from the diagram that this is the combination of the angles m∠JKM and m∠MKL. So, we can combine their values, which are equal to 54 to find x.
13x+1+5x+4=54
We combine like terms
18x+5=54
We subtract 5 from both sides.
18x=49
We divide both sides by 18.
x=2.7222222....
Now, we want to find the measure of m∠MKL. We plug our x value into the value of this angle and evaluate.
5(2.722....)+4=17.61111....... or 17 11/18.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: 
BC= x
AB= 10 cm
AC= 8 cm
~
Now, Substitute
Square root x^2= x, √(36)=6
Therefore, the length of x = 6
