Answer:

x = - 3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{x+7} - 1 = x  ( add 1 to both sides )

\sqrt{x+7} = x + 1 ( square both sides )

x + 7 = (x + 1)² ← distribute right side

x + 7 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x + 7 from both sides )

0 = x² + x - 6 ← in standard form

0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.

x = - 3 : \sqrt{-3+7} - 1 = \sqrt{4} - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 ≠ - 3

x = 2 : \sqrt{2+7} - 1  = \sqrt{9} - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2 is a solution and x = - 3 is extraneous

The gym teacher has $250 to spend on volleyball equipment. She buys 4 volleyball nets for $28 each. Volleyballs cost $7 each. Ho
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of volleyballs

we know that

The cost of each volleyball net ($28) by the number of volleyball nets (4) plus the cost of each volleyball ($7) multiplied by the number of volleyballs (x) must be less than or equal to $250

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

28(4)+7x\leq 250

Solve for x

112+7x\leq 250

subtract 112 both sides

7x\leq 250-112

7x\leq 138

Divide by 7 both sides

x\leq 19.7

therefore

The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19

You estimate that a baby pig weighs 21 lbs but it weighs 28 lbs what is the percent of error
lbvjy [14]
Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight
