For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.

Answer:
FH = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔGHE is a 5-12-13 triangle.
ΔEHF is a 3-4-5 triangle with a scale factor of 4, so side FH is 4·4 = 16 units.
_____
(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17) are all commonly used Pythagorean triples. The first two on the list are used in these triangles.
If you like, you can work out the numbers using the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
For ΔEHG, that is ...
GE² = EH² + HG²
13² = EH² + 5²
EH² = 13² -5² = 169 -25 = 144
And for ΔEHF, ...
FE² = EH² +HF²
20² = 144 + HF²
400 -144 = HF² = 256
HF = √256 = 16
The length of side FH is 16 units.
Ok slot method
3 slots
1st slot has 52 options
2nd slot has 51 optoins (1 went to first slot)
3rd slot has 50 options (1 went to previous slot)
number of ways=52*51*50=132600 ways

Answer:
x = -5/7, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor
(5x + 7)(x - 2) = 0
Step 2: Find <em>x </em>roots
5x + 7 = 0
x = -5/7
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
