Divide 8 by 9
8 / 9 = 0.888
0.88 is greater than 0.60 so it is not between 0.45 - 0.60
No.
a. take 35% off 30 =19.5
b. first take 25% off 30 = 22.5, then take 10% off 22.5 = 20.25
Factor out the common term; 3
(3(x + 1))^2 = 36
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a
3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36
Simplify 3^2 to 9
9(x + 1)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 9
(x + 1)^2 = 36/9
Simplify 36/9 to 4
(x + 1)^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 1 = √4
Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2
x + 1 = 2
Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x + 1 = 2
x + 1 = -2
Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2
x = 1
Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2
x = -3
Collect all solutions;
<u>x = 1, -3</u>
Answer:
<h2>x² = -3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
In algebra, the goal is always to isolate the variable, so its value can be determined.
<h3>Step 1: Subtract 21</h3>
7x² = -21
<h3>Step 2: Divide by 7</h3>
x² = -3
<h3>Step 3: Check</h3>
7(-3) + 21 = 0
0 = 0 ✔
<h3>Step 4: Answer</h3>
x² = -3
I'm always happy to help :)
