Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first step: 0.5 * x
second step: 3* (0.5x) = 1.5x
third step: (1.5x)^2
fourth step: (1.5x)^2 + 1 = 50
(1.5x)^2 + 1 = 50 Subtract 1 from both sides
(1.5x)^2 = 49 Take the square root of both sides
1.5x = sqrt(49)
1.5x = +/- 7
1.5x = +7
x = 7/1.5
x = 4.67
1.5x = - 7
x = - 7 / 1.5
x = - 4.67
-5/8 * 2/3 = -10/24 which reduces to - 5/12
