Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's turn this into an equation:

twenty more ( +20 ) than four times a number ( 4x ) is equal ( = ) to the difference ( - ) between 139 and 3 times the number ( 3x ).

4x + 20 = 139 - 3x

Now let's solve:

Subtract 20 from each side:

4x = 119 - 3x

Add 3x to each side:

7x = 119

Divide each side by 7:

x = 17

Make a the subject of a2+b2=c2

Answer:

$a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2$

⇒ $a=\sqrt{(c+b)(c-b)}$ [Factorized form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We need to make $a$ the subject.

In order to do that we need to solve the expression for $a$ in terms of $b$ and $c$

We have,

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Subtracting both sides by $b^2$

$a^2+b^2-b^2=c^2-b^2$

$a^2=c^2-b^2$

Taking square root both sides in order to remove square of $a$

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

$a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2$

The difference of squares can be factorized and written as:

$a=\sqrt{(c+b)(c-b)}$ [difference of squares $x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)$ ]
