Answer:3
Step-by-step explanation:

≥-4
Pretend the greater than or equal to sign is an equal sign, we will substitute it back in later.
x/2 = -4
Multiply both sides by 2 to get x alone
x = -8
Substitute the greater than or equal to sign back in and voila!
x≥-8
Surface area = 2(ab+bc+ac)
a=5.2 ft, b=2.4 ft, c=3.5ft
Surface area = 2(5.2 * 2.4 + 2.4 * 3.5 + 3.5 * 5.2) =
2(12.48 + 8.4 + 18.2) =
2 * 39.08 =
78.16 ≈ 78.2 ft² ← <span>to the nearest tenth</span>

Answer:
w= 9
Step-by-step explanation:

Square both sides:
-4w +61= (w -4)²

Expand:
-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²
-4w +61= w² -8w +16
Simplify:
w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0
w² -4w -45= 0
Factorize:
(w -9)(w +5)= 0
w -9= 0 or w +5= 0
w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)
Note:
-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.
<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>
When solving an equation such as x²= 4,
we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.
In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.
However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.
