<span>2 square root (x - 5) = 2. 2^2 (x -5) = 2^2. 4(x - 5) = 4. 4x - 20 = 4. 4x = 24. x = 6. This solution is not extraneous, because extraneous solutions emerge from solving the problem but are not actually valid solutions for the initial problem. With rounding, this solution is valid for the initial problem.</span>
30/5 is 6, so c/3 is 6, and c is 6x3, so c is 18.
Answer:
260 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,
Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%
Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9
Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:
26.5% of g = 68.9
26.5/100 × g = 68.9
0.265 × g = 68.9
0.265g = 68.9
Divide both side by 0.265
0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265
g= 260
260 gallons of water are used everyday
Answer:
P = 128 Post
Step-by-step explanation:
Total post needed = 216 posts
Number of post Jerry has = 88 posts
Number of posts jerry still needs = P
Total = Number of post Jerry has + Number of posts jerry still needs
216 = 88 + P
216 - 88 = P
128 = P
P = 128 Post
