Find the value of x
a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 8

B, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you can use the Pathagaryos thereom a^2+b^2=c^2

So we have (x-2)^2+x^2=20

We can expand (x-2)^2 and get

x^2-4x+4

so we have x^2 -4x +4 + x^2=20

We can combine like terms and subtract 20 from both sides to get

2x^2-4x-16=0

We can factor this and get (2x+4)(x-4)

which means that x=4 and -2

Obviously the length can't be a negative and so we reject x= -2 and we get x=4

We can double check it and see that

(4-2)^2+4^2=20

and it does

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
