The difference between the square roots of a number is 30

1 answer:

4 0

The two square roots of any positive number have the same size,
but one is positive and the other one is negative.

Let's say the square roots of our mystery number are +S and -S .
Then the difference between them is

+S - (-S) = +S + S = 2S .

We are told that the difference between them is 30 .

2S = 30

Divide each side by 2: S = 15

The positive square root of our mystery number is 15.

Our mystery number is (15)² = 225 .

Write a decimal subtraction problem that requires regrouping to solve. then solve the problem

Svetach [21]

For example, think about 8.4 - 2.9.

You have to regroup because you can't subract 4 - 9.
4 turns into a 14 since you borrow from the left number, 8.
8 turns into a 7 after that.
Now, you have to subtract 14 - 9 and 7 - 2. You're answer is 5.5.
You can check your work by doing inverse opperations:
By adding:
5.5 + 2.9 = 8.4
Or by subracting 8.4 - 5.5 = 2.9
