Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

x=2.86

Explanation:

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)`

`{24}^(2) + {32}^(2) = 40`

`c = 40`

`6x + 6 + 9x - 9 = 40`

`(6x + 9x) + (6 - 9) = 40`

`15x - 3 = 40`

`15x = 43`

`x = 2.866`

`23.16 + 16.74 = 39.9`

the

`6(2.86) + 6 = 23.16`

`9(2.86) - 9 = 16.74`
