Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(x-1)² + (x-2)² = x²

x²-2x+1 + x²-4x+4 = x²

reduce:

2x²-6x+5 = x²

subtract x² from each side:

x²-6x+5 = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x=1 but because shorter leg would be 0, a triangle would be impossible.

x=5

How to solve:

( x , y )

Plug the values in to the equation and solve

-3x+5y=2x+3y

(2,4) plugged in would be

-3(2)+5(4)=2(2)+3(4)

All you have to do is solve this and if the two sides are not equal(like 4=20), then it is not a solution. Just plug in (3,3) next.

Hope this helped!!!
