Decimal form: -2.6666..
Fraction form: -2 2/3
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2 + x = 9 + 3x + 10
6x - 2 = 9 + 3x + 10
6x - 2 = 3x + 19
6x = 3x + 21
3x = 21
x = 7
Answer:
1 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-9 2/7 -(-10 3/7) recall -×- = +
-9 2/7 +10 3/7
1 2+3/7
1 5/7
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
