We will call the unknown number <em>x</em>.
<em /><em>x</em> - 2 1/4 - 1/8(3) - 2/3(2) = 3 11/24
<em>x</em> - 2 1/4 - (1/8)(3/1) - (2/3)(2/1) = 3 11/24
<em>x</em> - 2 1/4 - 3/8 - 4/3 = 3 11/24
We need a common denominator.  24 is the first number that 4, 8 and 3 all both divide evenly into.
<em>x</em> - 2 6/24 - 9/24 - 32/24 = 3 11/24
<em>x</em> - 2 15/24 - 32/24 = 3 11/24
<em>x</em> - 2 47/24 = 3 11/24
<em>x</em> - 3 23/24 = 3 11/24
Cancel the 3 23/34 by adding to both sides:
<em>x</em> - 3 23/24 + 3 23/24 = 3 11/24 + 3 23/24
<em>x</em> = 6 34/24 = 7 10/24 = 7 5/12

What is the domain of the function y= square root x - 5 - 1
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

x\geq 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that we have to study in this problem is

y=\sqrt{x-5}-1

The domain of a function is defined as the set of all the possible values of x that the function can take.

For a square-root function, there are some limitations to the possible value of the argument in the root.

In particular, the argument of a square root must be equal or greater than zero, because the square root of a negative number is not defined.

Therefore, in this case, we have to set the following condition for the domain:

x-5\geq 0

And by solving, we get

x\geq 5

which means that the domain of this function is all real numbers equal or greater than 5.
