Answer:
153/20
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to have the mixed fraction turned into a improper fraction to make adding them both easier. We would change 5 2/8 to 42/8 and 2 4/10 to 24/10.
We now need to get them a common denominator. The LCM (least common multiple) of 8 and 10 is 40, so we multiply 42/8 by 5/5 getting us 210/40 and 24/10 by 4/4 to get 96/40.
Finally, we add them then simplify. 96/40 + 210/40 is 306/40. We then simplify that to 153/20.
If it is 1 2/3 it is 5/3. if it is 12/3 it is already a improper factor.<span />
This can be rewritten as
(x -6)² = 90 . . . . . the left side is already a perfect square
x -6 = ±√90 . . . . . take the square root
x = 6 ±3√10 . . . . add 6
