Divide both sides by -5
Sqrt(x) = 3
We want to isolate x to solve for it. The opposite of a square root is a square, so square both sides.
x = 9
It can't be -9 because the square root of negative numbers are not real numbers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative times a negative is a positive so...
( - ) ( - ) ( - ) ( -10x ) = -5
10x = -5
x = -5/10
x = -1/2
(35 + 47 + 42 + x) / 4 = 50
(124 + x) / 4 = 50....multiply both sides by 4, cancelling the 4 on the left side.
124 + x = 50 * 4
124 + x = 200
x = 200 - 124
x = 76 <===
