6 0

Answer:

-4,2

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: two \: consecutive \: even \: numbers \: be \: x \: and \: x + 2 \\ so \: by \: the \: question \\  {x}^{2}  +  {(x + 2)}^{2}  = 20 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 = 20 \\ or \: 2 {x}^{2}  + 4x = 20 - 4 \\ or \: 2( {x}^{2}   + 2x) = 16 \\ or {x}^{2}  + 2x = 8 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}  + 2x - 8 = 0 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}   + (4 - 2)x - 8 = 0 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}   + 4x  -  2x - 8 = 0 \\ or \: x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4) = 0 \\ or \: (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 \\ either \: x + 4 = 0 \\ or \: x =  - 4 \\ or \: x - 2 = 0 \\ orx = 2

therefore, x= -4 and 2

What is value of x? Please help! Will reward
vazorg [7]

x = 50

The angles shown are vertically opposite and thus equal

so 3x - 30 = 2(x + 10)

3x - 30 = 2x +20

subtract 2x from both sides

3x - 2x - 30 =  20

x - 30 = 20

add 30 to both sides

x = 20 + 30 = 50
