Suppose you estimated square root of 12 by averaging a square like rectngle.What would be a reasonable estimation?​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

3^2 = 9

and 4^2 = 16 so the square root is between 3 and 4.

Take a rectangle 3.4 by 3.6:

the area = 3.4 * 3.6 = 12.24 so an estimate of the square root could be 3.5.

3.5 * 3.5 = 12.25.

Ivory says that the equation 2x+2=x+1 has no solution because the left-hand side is double the right-hand side. Is Ivory Correct
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We try to solve the equation first.

2x + 2 = x + 1

We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.

Subtract x from both sides.

x + 2 = 1

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x = -1

Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.

2x + 2 = x + 1

2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1

-2 + 2 = 0

0 = 0

0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.

Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

A Cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddies c
NemiM [27]
1.75 + 0.25x ≤ 15
where x is equal the number of miles.

The key to solving an inequality is just temporarily making the ≤ symbol a =. Then solve for x like any other algebraic equation. Once you find the value of x, you will have solved the inequality. Make sure to add back the ≤ when you are done. 

15 - 1.75 = 13.25
13.25/0.25 = x 
x = 53
add back the ≤
x ≤ 53
This means Eddies can travel up to 53 miles with his $15.

<span>|7x-7|+3 = 4x+1  ⇒⇒⇒ add (-3) to both sides
</span>
<span>∴ |7x-7| = 4x - 2
</span>
According to the absolute rule
∴ 7x - 7 = 4x - 2    OR    -(7x - 7) = 4x - 2                                 
    7x - 4x = 7 - 2      l     7x - 7 = -4x + 2                              
   3x = 5                   l     7x + 4x = 2 + 7                                         
  x = 5/3                   l     11 x = 9  ⇒⇒⇒  x = 9/11

∴ x = 5/3  and  9/11


So, the correct answer is option <span>B. 5/3 and 9/11</span>
