Joel is designing a ramp for a bike trick. He draws this diagram. What is the value of x?

x = -1

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

x² + (2x + 2)² = (2x + 3)²

Since these are quantities, you'll have to make them into quadratic equations.

(2x + 2)(2x + 2) = 4x² + 4x + 4x + 4

(2x + 3)(2x + 3) = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9

x² + 4x² + 4x + 4x + 4 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9

Combine like terms

5x² + 8x + 4 = 4x² + 12x + 9

Move one side to set the equation equal to 0

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

Solve

x² - 5x + x - 5 = 0

x(x - 5) + 1(x - 5) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 5) = 0

x = -1, 5

We can check that these are correct by plugging them in for x and seeing if they are equal

For example

(-1)² + (2(-1) + 2)² = (2(-1) + 3)²

1 = 1

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
