I am hoping this was explained well enough:

Step  1  :

Isolate the square root on the left hand side :

    Radical already isolated  

    √2x-7 = 5-x

Step  2  :

Eliminate the radical on the left hand side :

    Raise both sides to the second power

    (√2x-7)2 = (5-x)2

    After squaring  

    2x-7 = x2-10x+25

Step  3  :

Solve the quadratic equation :

    Rearranged equation

    x2  - 12x  + 32 = 0

    This equation has two rational roots:

      {x1, x2}={8, 4}

 

Step  4  :

Check that the first solution is correct :

    Original equation

    √2x-7 = 5-x

    Plug in 8 for  x  

     √2•(8)-7 = 5-(8)

     Simplify

     √9 = -3

     Solution does not check  

     3 ≠ -3  

Step  5  :

Check that the second solution is correct :

    Original equation

    √2x-7 = 5-x

    Plug in 4 for  x  

     √2•(4)-7 = 5-(4)

     Simplify

     √1 = 1

     Solution checks !!

    Solution is:  

     x = 4

One solution was found :

                       x = 4

Line segment TU has endpoints (-7,10) and (-6,-5). What is the length of TU to the NEAREST TENTH?
Sindrei [870]

Answer: 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The endpoints of the line segment are (-7,10)\ \text{and}\ (-6,-5)

The length of the line segment is given by the distance formula i.e.  

d=\sqrt{\left( x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left( y_2-y_1\right)^2}

Insert the values,

\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{\left( -6+7\right)^2+\left( -5-10\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{1^2+\left( -15\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{1+225}\\\Rightarrow d=15.0\ \text{units}

Therefore, the length of line segment TU is 15 units

Someone help me please!!!!!
goldfiish [28.3K]
First you are using the pothagorean theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2. You have a and b, so you should plug them in to get 4^2+4^2=c^2. Then simplify it some more to 16+16=c^2. Now finish simplifying to c^2=32. Now take the square root of each side and you have your answer. So your answer will be c=√32 or c is about 5.66.

Work out the percentage increase of 42 to 186.
Elza [17]

Answer:

 342.85714 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage increase is  given by

 increase= (new - original)/ original * 100 %

The new is 186 and the original is 42

                = (186 - 42)/ 42 * 100 %

                 =144/42* 100 %

                 =3.42857 * 100%

                   =342.85714 %

The morning temperature was at 23.5° F. Later that evening the temperature had dropped to 15.6° F. What was the change in temper
salantis [7]

Answer:

Jake's answer is true; the change in temperature is -7.9° F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in temperature is the final value minus the initial value. Evening minus the morning.

The final value is 15.6° F, the initial value is 23.5° F.

So 15.6 - 23.5 = -7.9

Jake's answer is true.
