Answer:
20 tests
Step-by-step explanation:
There are six different wires, and for each test the author picks three, this means that each test is a combination of three out of six wires (₆C₃) . The number of total combinations possible is given by:

20 tests are required to verify every possible pairing of three wires.
-3/4 is a rational number because it can be written as a whole number over 100 (-75/100)
Square roit 2 is less than square root 3 as 2 is a smaller number than 3
17 is close to 16, which has an exact square root of 4, so square root 17 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4
Answer:
7(-1/2 +2) = -6(2(-1/2) -1) +3(-1/2)
7(3/2) = -6(-2) -3/2
21/2 = 12 -3/2 . . . . . true, answer checks OK
