Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

3

√

2

Explanation:

First put change the words into an equation:

√

3

×

√

6

Now you can multiply them together as you would normally multiply:

√

3

×

√

6

=

√

18

Now let's prime factor 18 and see if there are any squares that we can take out of it to simplify. All we have to see is if there are 2 numbers that are the same:

18

/ \

6

3

/ \

2

3

As you can see, we have a square:

3

×

3

=

9

So take

√

9

out of

√

18

. You should have:

√

9

√

2

But since

√

9

=

3

we can simplify further to make:

√

9

√

2

→

3
