How do you solve the following for x?

Step-by-step explanation:

√10x - 1 = 7

Square both sides,

10x - 1 = 7²

10x - 1 =  49

10x = 49 + 1

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
