Question

Solve for x helppp(10 points)

Answer 1

x = n - m

Explanation:

To solve for x we have to isolate it.

`x^(2) \\` +
`m^(2)` =
`n^(2)`

First, let's subtract
`m^(2)` from both sides of the equation:

`x^(2) \\` +
`m^(2)` -
`m^(2)` =
`n^(2)` -
`m^(2)`

Now the equation looks like this:
`x^(2) \\` =
`n^(2)` -
`m^(2)`

Now we have apply a square root to both sides to remove the exponent from the x:
`√(x^2)` =
`√(n^2 - m^2)`

The square root and the exponents cancel out on both sides and you're left with: x = n - m

To solve for x the equation is: x = n - m

I hope this helps! :)
