I believe b equals 5, which would make 2x5 +5, making it 15.
X^2+4x=-3
x^2+4x+3=0
(x+1)(x+3)=0
x+1=0 so x=-1
x+3=0 so x=-3
so the solution is x=-3,-1
Hope this helped! Please rate my answer if I helped you! Any questions please feel free to ask! Thank you so much!
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
To answer if they are right triangles or not use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the legs.
a) 25² = 20² + 7²
625 = 400 + 49
625 ≠ 449 It is not a right triangle
b) 26² = 24² + 10²
676 = 576 + 100
676 = 676 it is a right triangle
c) 13² = 8² + (√10)²
169 = 64 + 10
169 ≠ 74 it is not a right triangle
d) 52² = 48² + 20²
2704 = 2304 + 400
2704 = 2704 it is a right triangle
