Answer:
x= -5 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
subst y = -x + 5 into y = x^2 + 5x + 10
-x +5 = x^2 + 5x +10
x^2 +6x +5 = 0
(x+5)(x+1)=0
x= -5 or -1
X = 20
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x
=
20
2(7/2)^x = 49/2
Divide both sides by 2:
(7/2)^x = 49/4
I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:
(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2
The only way for this to be true is if x = 2. Thus, we are done.

The distance is 3, because 7 - 4 = 3.
