Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle, but note that you only know the measurement of one angle, which is 90 degrees.
Use the following formula to solve:
a² + b² = c²
In which:
a & b = shorter sides
c = hypotenuse
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:
(3)² + (4)² = ?²
Solve. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve the exponents, then add:
(3)² = (3 * 3) = (9)
(4)² = (4 * 4) = (16)
9 + 16 = ?²
25 = ?²
Isolate "?". Root both sides:
√(25) = √(?²)
? = √25 = √(5 * 5) = 5
Your missing side's measurement is 5.

First you would want to add all like terms. So add -2x and -x which will give you the equation -3x+8=?. Now you want to get 8 on the other side to simplify the equation even more so subtract 8 on both sides. -3x=-8. Finally you want to isolate x by dividing by -3 on both sides which will leave you with x=8/3 or x=2 2/3
