Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x+x+x=54
(x+x+x)=54(Combine Like Terms)
3x=54
3x=54
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.
3x 3
=
54

x=18
Answer:
x=18
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
x=3+√8
y =3-√8
now,
1/x^2+1/y^2
=1/(3+√8)² + 1/(3-√8)²
= [(3-√8)²+(3+√8)²] / (3+√8)²(3-√8)² [L.C.M = (3+√8)²(3-√8)² ]
=[(3-√8+3+√8)²-2(3-√8)(3+√8) ] / [(3+√8)(3-√8)]²
=[6²-2.(3²-√8² )] / (3²-√8²)² [ a²+ b²=(a+b)²-2ab]
=[36-2(9-8) ]/ (9-8)²
=[36-2.1] / 1²
=34
