Answer:

About 18.1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up an equation. Assuming that the original number is x:

x*(1-0.17)=15

0.83x=15

x=15/0.83 which is about 18.1 Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as the indices are the same for all the radicals, you can multiply them together. Our index for each of these is 2 (square root) so we multiply them all together and put it under 1 square root sign (radical):

$\sqrt{150x^6$ The largest perfect square in 150 is 25, and the 6th power on the x needs just to be rewritten in terms of an exponent of 2 to give us:
