Question

Solve for x:

82 + 32 = }(251 – 15) – 4
A) x = 50
B) x = 56
C) x = 60
D) x = 64

Answer 1

The equation 82 + 32 = }(251 – 15) – 4 does not have a solution for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we will first simplify the equation. Starting with the right side, we have (251 - 15) - 4 = 251 - 15 - 4 = 232.

Now, the equation becomes 82 + 32 = 232.

We can combine the left side to get 114 = 232.

However, this is not a true statement, so there is no solution for x.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) x = 64.
