To find this out:
Turn the percent into a fraction and cross multiply!
5%=5/100
5 39
_ × ____
100
Multiply 39 × 100 (3,900)
Then divide by 5!
3900/5=780
39 is 5% of 780!
Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12
If you had the number 4 1/4 you would divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (4) and then take the decimal number (0.25) you get and add the decimal to the whole number on your mixed number (4+0.25) and that would give you the decimal.
Parentheses are used to identify which numbers you should add,multiply .ect first. So If i had
12-(3+1)=x
then you would want to solve 3+1 before you subtract 12.
