Someone please help me thank you

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x = x^2 - 5               Transfer 4x to the right side.

Solution

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0          Factor

(x - 5)(x + 1)

You want the negative solution. That means that the middle sign must be plus.

x + 1 = 0                   Subtract 10 from both sides

x = - 1                       Ten on the left disappears by the subtraction process.

Is that correct?

4x = x^2 - 5

x = - 10

4*(-1) = (-1)^2 - 5

-4  = ? 1 - 5

-4 = - 4

and it does work.  

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
