Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way: Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x Square root of negative 2x plu

s 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 − 1 Square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 ( Square root of negative 2 x )2 = (x − 4)2 −2x = x2 − 8x + 16 −2x + 2x = x2 + 8x + 16 + 2x 0 = x2 + 10x + 16 0 = (x + 2)(x + 8) x + 2 = 0 x + 8 = 0 x + 2 − 2 = 0 − 2 x + 8 − 8 = 0 − 8 x = −2 x = −8 Both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation. What error did Eloise make?

She kept the + 3 on the right side of the equation in her second step, she forgot to eliminate it..... there fore, it would have been -2x + 1 = x + 3 not -2x + 1 - 3 +3 = x+3

B/13-3b/13=8/13 help please
OLEGan [10]
\frac{b}{13} - \frac{3b}{13} = \frac{8}{13}
Since the two fractions have a common denominator already, we can just subtract the numerators.
b-3b=-2b or -3b+b=-2b
Either way you get the same answer :)
Our new fraction is \frac{-2b}{13}
Now we know that this must be equal to \frac{8}{13}
Again, since the denominators are already the same of course they are equal. 13=13
Now we have to set the numerators equal
-2b=8
Use inverse operations to get b alone
-2b=8
÷-2   ÷-2
b=-4
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helped! :)

155%of 80 is what number
brilliants [131]
Recall that the conversion of 155% to decimal is to divide by 100. Thus, 155%=1.55.

Now, multiply this by 80: 1.55 * 80=124

So our answer is 124.
