Answer:

x = ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ^2 -4 = 8

Add 4 to each side

3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4

3x^2 =12

Divide each side by 3

3x^2 =12

3x^2/3 = 12/3

x^2 = 4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)

x = ±2

How do you solve 5 3/7 ÷ 5/11

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

11 33/35

5 3/7 = 5 × 7/7 + 3/7 = 35 + 37 = 38/7

38/7 ÷ 5/11 = 38/7 × 11/5 = 38 × 11/7 × 5 = 418/35

418/35 = 11 33/35

Nick has $7.00. Bagels cost $0.75 each, and a small container of cream cheese costs $1.29. Write an inequality to find the numbe

jeyben [28]

Since the question only asks for bagels, put the cream-cheese idea aside.
The total spent has to be less than $7 so an equation can be this: $0.75x<$7 where x is the number of bagels
