  1. what year r u in?how wld i no


  2. (x - 7)^2 = (x + 3)^2

    x - 7 = ±√(x + 3)^2

    x - 7 = ±(x + 3)

    x - 7 = +(x + 3)

    x - x = 7 + 3

    0 = 10

    x - 7 = -(x + 3)

    x - 7 = -x - 3

    x + x = 7 - 3

    2x = 4

    x = 4/2

    x = 2

    ∴ x = 2

  3. The given problem is (x - 7)^2 = (x + 3)^2. We can solve to find the two solutions by expanding the equations, i.e.

    (x - 7)^2 = (x + 3)^2

    x^2 - 14x + 49 = x^2 + 6x + 9

    -14x + 49 = 6x + 9

    -20x = -40

    x = 2

    The answer is two.

  4. take squareroot of both sides

        x-7=x+3   = x-x=10  0=10

    OR  expand

    x^2-14x+49=x^2+6x+9   = x^2-x^2-14x-6x+49-9=0

    0-20x+40 =0   -20x=-40  x=-40/-20  x=2  okay no wonder


  5. (x-7)^2= (x+3)^2

    x^2+49-14x = x^2+9+6x  //  (a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2+2ab

    x^2+40 = x^2+20x

    20x = 40

    x=2

    Hence proved.

    Give 10 points for me...
