you could use this equation to help you solve it;
x + (x + 42) = 138
the first step is to combine like terms;
2x = 138 -42
2x = 96
X = 96/2
X = 48
we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.
48 + (48 + 42) = 138
48 + 90 = 138
hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

Factor the leading coefficient

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


Divide both sides by 

Rewrite as perfect squares

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The power station is located 5 miles west and 6 miles north of the center of town. So if we try to locate the above points on a Cartesian plane. The co-ordinates of these points will be (-5,6).
And it is also mentioned that a power outage affected all homes and businesses within a 3 mile radius of the power station. So if we plot all the furthest points from the station affected by the power outage it will be a circle of radius 3 miles and center at (-5,6).
The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is given by :

Hence the equation of the resulting circle will be: 
Cos 25=0.90631
cos 25=(the end of the slide to the stairway beneath the top of the slide)/( length of the slide)
length of the slide=60/0.90631=66.2
the length of the slide = 66.2 feet
