Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
14. We can represent 1 as √1 and 2 as √4 and because 1 < 3 < 4, we know that √3 is in between 1 and 2. However, 3 is closer to 4 than it is to 1 so √3 is about 2.
15. Again, 3 is √9 and 4 is √16. 9 < 10 < 16 so √10 is in between 3 and 4, however, since 10 is closer to 9 as it is to 16, we know that √10 is about 3.
16. -4 = -√16 and -5 = -√25, since 16 < 22 < 25, we know that -√22 is in between -4 and -5 but 22 is closer to 25 so the answer is -5.
17. -10 = -√100 and -11 = -√121 so -√120 is in between -10 and -11. Since 120 is closer to 121, the answer is -11.
 
        
             
        
        
        
I got x < 2 for the inequality

8+7=15
300/15=20
8 x 20 =160 Boys
7 x 20 = 140 girls
140 + 160 = 300
Hope this helps!

Answer:   v = -3
=========================================
Work Shown:

As you can see, we don't square both sides until the square root portion is fully isolated or on its own side. So it happens after we subtract 1 from both sides.
Technically, you are able to square both sides without first isolating the square root. But that would mean you'd have to use the FOIL rule and things would get a bit messier than they have to be. Not to mention that the square root term wouldn't fully go away (so you'd have to square again later down the line). 
------------------
Checking the answer:
Replace every copy of v with -3. Simplify both sides. We should end up with the same number on each side

The answer is confirmed.
