-5(2x+1)-2x-2=17
first, distribute
-10x-5-2x-2=17
combine like terms
-12x-7=17
get the x alone, eliminate the constant
-12x=24
divide out the -12 to get the x alone.

√3=1.732 find the value of√75+1/2√48-√198

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

12.124-3 $\sqrt{22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{5^{2}*3} \\$

$\sqrt{48}= \sqrt{2^{2}*2^{2}*3} \\$

$\sqrt{198} =\sqrt{3^{2}*2*11} \\$

$\sqrt{75} +\frac{1}{2} *\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{198} \\\\\sqrt{5^{2}*3} +\frac{1}{2} *\sqrt{2^{2}*2^{2}*3} - \sqrt{3^{2}*2*11} \\\\5\sqrt{3} +\frac{1}{2} *4 \sqrt{3} - 3 \sqrt{2*11} \\\\5\sqrt{3} +2 \sqrt{3} - 3 \sqrt{22} \\\\5*1.732 +2*1.732 - 3 \sqrt{22} \\\\8.66 + 3.464 - 3 \sqrt{22}\\\\12.124- 3 \sqrt{22}$

Paolo was asked to find the original dimension of an enlarged pentagon. His solution is shown next to the pentagons.

NISA [10]

The correct answer is the second choice.

Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.

The second line should be:

12x = 24
