let be is x.

PE * PB = PA^2
4 * (4+x) = 6^2

Answer 4

ok so how would i do it i realy stink at this i dropped out in 2010 and just started back to night class this week and dont ever remember it being this hard

Answer 5

4 * (4+x) = 6^2
4 * (4+x) = 36
both sides divided by 4, get
(4+x) = 9
subtracted by 4 on both sides, get
x = 5
