Answer:
The equation is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Caroline was thinking of a number.
We are going to call this number x.
Caroline halves the number and gets 7.3.
To find half of a number, we multiply by 1/2. So
5x+25 final answer is x=5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
B

Let the distance of two consecutive stones are x, x+1.
In ΔBCD, we have
tan60
o
=
x
h
⇒x=
3
h
.....(i)
In ΔABC, we have
tan30
o
=
x+1
h
⇒
3
1
=
x+1
h
⇒
3
h
+1=
3
h ......[from equation (i)]
⇒
3
2h
=1
⇒h=
2
3
km
solution
Note:xy means x times y and x(y) means the same thing
so
first we get rid of square root then
make the equation equal to zero becaues if
xy=0 then x or/and y=0
squareroot(y-1)+3=y
isolate the squareroot
subtrac 3 from boht sides
squareroot(y-1)=y-3
square both sides (since they are equal, you should be able to square both sides and still make it true)
(squareroot(y-1))^2=(y-3)^2
(y-1)=(y-3)(y-3)
y-1=y^2-6y+9
subtrac y from both sides
-1=y^2-7y+9
add 1 to both sides
0=y^2-7y+10
find what two number multiply to make 10 and add to get -7
the answer is -2 and -5
0=(y-5)(y-2)
therfore
y-5=0
and/or
y-2=0
therefor
y=5 or/and 2 might work
let's try out 2
square root(2-1)+3=2
square root(1)+3=2
1+3=2
false
so 2 doesn't work
let's try 5
squareroot(5-1)+3=5
squareroot(4)+3=5
2+3=5
5=5
true
y=5
