Answer:
imma say $5300
Step-by-step explanation: if right plz mark as brainliest
sorry if wrong
Hello!
Let's solve !
⇒ (x - 3)² = 5
⇒ x² - 6x + 9 = 5
⇒ x² - 6x + 4 = 0
⇒ x = -(-6) ± √36 - 4(1)(4) / 2
⇒ x = 6 ± √20 / 2 = 6 ± 2√5 / 2
⇒ x = 3 ± √5
∴ The solutions are x = 3 + √5 and x = 3 - √5.
We have been given the steps to solve the equation as
Step 1: 2x = 18
Step 2: x = 18 − 2
Step 3: x = 16
There is an error in step 2.
We have 
x is in multiplication with 2. So in order to get rid of 2 from the left hand side, we perform opposite operation of multiplication i.e. division.
So we must divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, A is the correct option.
A) She did not divide 18 by 2.
The location of the fountain as described in the task content is; (-1, -0.5).
<h3>What is the location of the Fountain?</h3>
According to the task content, the locations of Fernando and Maria are given as; (-4, -2) and (4,2) respectively and the ratio of division is expected to be; 5: 3.
Hence, the coordinates of the fountain can be evaluated as;
x = (4) - (4-(-4)) × (5/8) = -1.
y = 2 - (2-(-2)) × (5/8) = -0.5
Hence, it follows that the coordinates of the fountain location is; (-1, -0.5) since the fountain is closer to Fernando than Maria.
