Answer:

<h2>w = -8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Ernesto expressed as \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2, the extraneous solution obtained by Ernesto is shown below;

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2\\\\square\ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8})^2=(-2)^2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 = 4\\\\Subtract \ 8 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 - 8= 4- 8\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w= -4\\\\multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w*2= -4*2\\\\w = -8

Hence, the extraneous solution that Ernesto obtained is w = -8

Solve for B. <br> R = x(A + B)<br><br> A) B = (R - A)/x<br> B) B = (A - Rx)/x<br> C) B = (R - Ax)/x
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

R = x(A+B)

distribute

R=Ax+Bx

subtract Ax from each side

R-Ax=Bx

divideby x

(R-Ax)/x =B

6th square root of 125x^3y^9z^6
Slav-nsk [51]
 Irrational numbers are those numbers whose denominators and in square root forms. We can express the numbers in lowest terms by taking out divisible perfect square numbers out of the square root sign. In this case, the rules applicable is that the simplest forms are those forms in which the variables degree is less than to the nth root. The numbers inside the roots should be divisible to the nth power of a number. 
In this case, 125 is not divisible than any 6th root. The only other variable that can be 6th root is y^9 and x^6. hence the answer is 
yz 6th root of (125x^3y^3)

There are 946,946 milliliters in a quart. There are 22 pints in a quart. How many milliliters are in a pint?
Stels [109]

Answer:

473 milliliters.      

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that there are 946 milliliters in a quart. There are 2 pints in a quart.

To find the number of milliliters in a pint we will divide 946 by 2.

\text{Amount of milliliters in a pint}=\frac{946}{2}

\text{Amount of milliliters in a pint}=473

Therefore, there are 473 milliliters in one pint.
