How to estimate to check that the answer is reasonable

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
8 0
Basically estimating is rounding, im going to futher explain this with an example.
For example:
If I wanted to round a number by it's nearest tenth such as 678
(*example)
there are 70 tenths
now when you are estimating when you are rounding to the nearest number if the number has a higher value then 5 you increase the number if it is lower than 5 you STAY the same.

now
678,
since the number next to it is 8, 7 increases and everything else turns into zero. so 678 rounded to the nearest 10th
is 680!

Hope this example helped!

Solve for x please describe the steps 50 points
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

x = 6

explanation:

USE: \boxed{\frac{side-length }{base -length} = \frac{side-length}{base -length} }

solve:

\frac{21}{15} = \frac{7}{x-1}

21(x-1) = 7(15)

21x-21 = 105

21x = 105+21

21x = 126

x = \frac{126}{21}

x = 6
