Question

What is the result of isolating x^2 in the equation below?

Answer 1

`x^(2)` = 10 +
`(36)/(10)`
`y^(2)`

The correct answer choice is A.

Explanation:

10
`x^(2)` - 36
`y^(2)` = 100

By isolation 10
`x^(2)` you are adding 36
`y^(2)` to both sides.

With this step we are left with this result:

10
`x^(2)` = 100 + 36
`y^(2)`

Finally, we can simplify the equation further by dividing all terms by the coefficient 10, since it was what
`x^(2)` was multiplied by.

`x^(2)` = 10 +
`(36)/(10)`
`y^(2)`
