Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)2 = 4

how to get this solved is very simple.

first step to apply is the BODMAS RULE

B..................... bracket

O..................... of

D.....................Division

M.................... multiplication

A..................... addition

S.................... Subtraction

so (x - 1)2 = 4

we have,

2x - 2 = 4 ( by opening the bracket)

collect the like terms

2x = 4+2

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

to check if your answer is correct put the value of x = 3 into the question and see if the right hand side will equal to the left handside

(x - 1)2 = 4

(3-1)2=4

2(2)=4

4=4.............................. proved

If 50% is 10 what is 25%​
kaheart [24]

Step-by-step explanation:. The first says “I know that 10 is one-tenth of 100. I will therefore divide 50 by 10. The answer is 5”.

This is fine when the numbers are relatively simple. But suppose the numbers are more complicated.

What is 22% of 46?

Now it’s much less straightforward. You can’t just work out what 22% is, expressed as a fraction, and anyway, it’s not a simple fraction.

Instead, you have to divide 46 into 100 equal parts, and work out what 22 of them would be when added together.

So: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46 [remember, when you divide by 100, you move the decimal point two places to the left].

0.46 × 22 = 10.12

Answer: 22% of 46 is 10.12.

Hope this helped :)

A circle is increased to have a circumference that is 4 times larger than the original. Which of the following options best desc
kogti [31]
Area of a circle is directly proportional to the square of radius of the circle while the circumference is proportional to the radius of the circle. This means that if the radius of a circle is increased x times, then its area will be increased to x^2 times the original area, and the circumference will increase to x times the original circumference.

Thus when the radius is doubled, or in other words if radius mad 2 time the original radius, the area of circle will become 2^2 = 4 time the original area. The circumference will become 2 times the original circumference.

We can calculate exact area and circumference of a circle from its radius using the following equations:

Area of circle = (pi/4)*r^2

Circumference of circle = 2*pi*r

Where r is the radius of the circle.

I know this is a lot, sorry.
