Solve the following equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the terms in the bracket

That's

Group like terms and simplify

Using factorization method to solve the quadratic equation we have

First factorize x out

That's

When the product of factors equals zero at least one factor is zero

We have

Solve the two equations

We have

The equation has two solutions

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

i dont know men

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
