The first thing you need to do is understand what you're looking for ...
what a 'solution' means, what it looks like, and how you even know
when you have it. I'm not sure you're there yet.
The 'answer' or the 'solution' to the problem is a number. It's the number
that 'x' must be in order for that line at the top to be a true statement. There's
only one possibility.
To find it, you can do anything you want to either side of the problem, as long as
you do exactly the same thing to the other side too. With that ability, here's how
to 'figure out the problem', and find the answer:
The original problem: </span><span><u>3x + 8 = 26 + x</u>
Subtract 8 from each side:
3x = 18 + x
Subtract 'x' from each side:
2x = 18
Divide each side by 2 :
<u>x = 9 </u> .
That's what the answer looks like, and that's what the answer is.
' 9 ' is the ONLY number you can write in place of 'x' in the problem,
and have the problem read true.
I'll show you what I mean. Let's take the original problem
</span><span> <u><span>3x + 8 = 26 + x
</span></u><span>and let's write ' 2 ' wherever we see 'x' :
3 (2) + 8 = 26 + 2
3 (2) means 3 times 2, and that's 6 .
So now we have
6 + 8 = 26 + 2
Do the addition on each side, and we have
14 = 28 .
That's nonsense. 14 is not equal to 28 . The reason that happened
is because we put the wrong number in place of 'x' . When we put the
correct number in place of 'x', the left side will be equal to the right side.
To 'figure out the problem' means to find out what that number must be.
For this particular problem, it's 9 .

Based on the ratio of boys/girls We can infer that the only possibility for Ellen's math class would be answer B. 14/21
Answer:
we have, 1953125=5⁹, so it cannot be a perfect square. If the last digit of a given number is 5, then the last three digits must be perfect squares, 025 or 225 or 625. Otherwise, that number cannot be a perfect square. And as 125 is not a perfect square, so no number ending with 125 can be a perfect square
