Answer: x = ± 5/4

Explanation:

x² = 3²/4² + 1

x² = 9/16 + 1

x² = 1·16 + 9/ 16

x² = 25/16

x = √25/16, x = - √25/16

Answer:

X=19/32

Explanation:

3/4^2+1^2=2*x

3/4^2+1=2x

3+(4^2)/4^2=2x

3+16/4^2=2x

19/4^2=2x

19/(2^2)^2=2x

19=16(2x)

19=16*2x

32x=19

32x/32=19/32

x=19/32

This took alot of time goodluck!
