First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now

2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4

At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real. 

Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result. 

For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196

No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.

So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to

x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values

What is 2 3/8 * 1/3. Estimate the product
stealth61 [152]
2 3/8 x 1/3 I believe? First you need to change 2 into a 16 then add that into 3 which is 19/8. You multiply across with 1/3 like with numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator. That then equals:19/24. You can't estimate it because 19 is a prime number.

If m∠NOP = 24° and m∠NOQ = 110°, what is m∠POQ?
andrew11 [14]

Correct answer for the above question is - option B. 86°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

∠NOP = 24°

∠NOQ = 110°

∠NOP and ∠POQ are adjacent angles

To Find:

∠POQ = ?

Solution:

Hereby, we can say that ∠POQ lies between line OQ and ON as given (∠NOP and ∠POQ are adjacent angles )

∠NOQ - ∠NOP = ∠POQ

∠POQ = 110° - 24°

<u>∠POQ = 86°</u>

Angle POQ is  86°

Thus we can conclude option B as correct answer.
