1/2+1/8+1/4=7/8    
4/8+1/8+2/8=7/8

1-7/8 = 3/8
the fourth on inherited 3/8 of the estate.

**60 POINTS** How to solve step-by-step...:
Katen [24]
<span>sqrt(3x+7)=x-1 </span>One solution was found :                  <span>      x = 6
</span>Radical Equation entered :

<span>     √3x+7 = x-1

</span>

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span>Isolate the square root on the left hand side :

     Radical already isolated 
<span>     √3x+7 = x-1

</span>

<span>Step  2  :</span>Eliminate the radical on the left hand side :

     Raise both sides to the second power
<span>     (√3x+7)2 = (x-1)2

</span>     After squaring 
<span>     3x+7 = x2-2x+1

</span>

<span>Step  3  :</span>Solve the quadratic equation :

     Rearranged equation
<span>     x2  - 5x  -6 = 0
</span>
     This equation has two rational roots:
     <span>  {x1, x2}={6, -1}
 </span>

<span>Step  4  :</span>Check that the first solution is correct :

     Original equation
<span>     √3x+7 = x-1

</span>     Plug in 6 for  x 
<span>      √3•(6)+7 = (6)-1

</span>      Simplify
     <span> √25 = 5
 </span>     Solution checks !!
     Solution is: 
<span>      x = 6
</span>

<span>Step  5  :</span>Check that the second solution is correct :

     Original equation
<span>     √3x+7 = x-1

</span>     Plug in  -1 for  x 
<span>      √3•(-1)+7 = (-1)-1

</span>      Simplify
     <span> √4 = -2
 </span>     Solution does not check 
      2 ≠ -2 

One solution was found :                  <span>      x = 6</span>

Given the data shown below, which of the following is the best prediction for
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The best prediction for  the number of years it will take for the population to reach 200,000 is 9.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Year     Population

1              11,920

2              16,800

3              23,300

4              33,000

5             45,750

6             64,000

y_1 =A _0 e ^{kt _1}\\y_2 = A_0 e^{k t_2}\\(t_1,y_1)=(1,11920)\\(t_2,y_2)=(2,16800)

Substitute the values

11920=A _0 e ^{k}  ---1\\16800 = A_0 e^{2k} ---2

Divide 1 and 2

\frac{11920}{16800}=\frac{e^k}{e^{2k}}\\\frac{11920}{16800}=e^{k-2k}\\ln(\frac{11920}{16800})=-k\\k=-1 ln(\frac{11920}{16800})\\k=0.3432\\A_0=y_1 e^{-k t_1}\\A_0=11920 e^{-0.3432}\\A_0=8457.5238

The exponential function that passes through the points (1, 11920) and (2, 16800) isy=8457.5238 e^{0.3432t}

Now we are supposed to find  the best prediction for  the number of years it will take for the population to reach 200,000

200000=8457.5238 e^{0.3432t}

\frac{200000}{8457.5238}=e^{0.3432t}

ln(\frac{200000}{8457.5238})=0.3432t

t = 9.41

Hence the best prediction for  the number of years it will take for the population to reach 200,000 is 9.41
