The value of x in the given equation [ √( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12) ] is 5.
<h3>What is an Equation?</h3>
An equation is simply a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, using the equals sign as a connection between them.
Given that;
- √( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12)
First, we square both sides
√( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12)
(√( 1 + (25/144) ))² = (1 + (x/12))²
1 + (25/144) = 1 + ( x²/144)
Collect like terms
1 - 1 + (25/144) = ( x²/144)
25/144 = x²/144
We cross multiply
25 × 144 = x² × 144
Multiply each sides by 1/144
x² = 25
x = √25
x = 5
Therefore, the value of x in the given equation [ √( 1 + (25/144) ) = 1 + (x/12) ] is 5.
