Answer 3

okay, that's a right triangle, right? you know the Pythagorean theorem says that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the hypotenuse being 5x-4 in this diagram) is the sum of the squares of the other two sides (6, 8). So, that means
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]\[6^2+8^2=(5x-4)^4\]
Expand that out and solve for x...
