Answer:

$x=-\frac{7}{6}\\x=\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve is:

$(x+\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{4}{9}$

To get rid of the "square", we need to take square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{2})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}\\x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}$

Then we use algebra to find the value(s) of x. Remember, when we take square root, we have to add up a "+-" (on the right side). Shown below:

$x+\frac{1}{2}=+-\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}\\x+\frac{1}{2}=+-\frac{2}{3}\\x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}\\x=-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{7}{6}$

So these are 2 answers for x.

You and a friend go to the movies and split the cost of the movie tickets and snacks. You pay the bill. You tell your friend he

Ok so you divide the bill by 2 because you each are paying half. You knock off $4 because you owed him that from last time and you pay $9. So this would equal to b/2 -4 =9. If you work it out in reverse, you get 4+9 which equals 13 then multiplied by 2 which means the total bill was $26.

So we have 5+3x=11. We subtract 5 from both sides and get 3x=6. we divide both sides by 3 and get x=2. Daniella skated for 2 hours
