The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
, x ≠ 1
Remember that when the denominators of both fractions are the same,, you need to set the numerators equal. This will look like the following:
= 5
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots.
x +/-
Separate the solutions.
x =
, x ≠ 1
x = -
Check if the solution is in the defined range.
x =
x = -
This means that the final solution to your question are the following:
x =
x = -

(b) is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Pythagorean Theorem,
A² + B² = C²
Where:
A = Length of side 1
B = Length of side 2
C = Hypotenuse
This rule applies to all right-angled triangles.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is always the largest value.
Therefore, we can test the answers with the equation above.
(a)
8² + 18² = 20²
64 + 324 = 400
388 ≠ 400
The rule of Pythagorean theorem doesn't work on a, so (a) is not a right-angled triangle.
(b)
12² + 35² = 37²
144 + 1225 = 1369
1369 = 1369
The rule of Pythagorean theorem works here, so (b) is a right-angled triangle.
