<p>square root (x^2 - t^2) = 2t - x
If x and t are positive numbers taht satisfy the equation above, what is the value of x/t?</p>
<p>the answer is 5/4.......... Can anyone explain how to arrive at this answer?</p>
<p>Square both sides to get
x^2 - t^2 = 4t^2 -4tx + x^2
which simplifies to 4tx = 5t^2
4x = 5t
4(x/t) = 5
x/t = 5/4</p>
<p>Where did you get this problem from?</p>
