Answer:
x = 2√13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:
14^2 = x^2 + 12^2
x^2 = 14^2 - 12^2
x^2 = (14 + 12)(14 - 12) = 52
x = √52
x = √4*√13
x = 2√13.

Do these equations have infinite solutions 2x + 5y= 31 and 6x -y = 13

katovenus [111]

$2x = 31 - 5y \\ x = \frac{31}{2} - \frac{5}{2}y$

$6x = 13 + y \\ x = \frac{13}{6} + \frac{1}{6} y$

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=8\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\text{Use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\\\\text{We have}\ leg=8,\ leg=8,\ hypotenuse=x.\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\x^2=8^2+8^2\\\\x^2=2(8^2)\to x=\sqrt{2(8^2)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x=\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt{8^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\\\\x=8\sqrt2$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\(look\ at\ the\ picture)\\\\\text{We have}\ a=8.\ \text{Therefore}\ a\sqrt2=8\sqrt2$
