The CPU speed determines how many calculations it can perform in one second of time. The higher the speed, the more calculations it can perform, thus making the computer faster.
Do recall that squaring and the *radical sign* cancel each other out... like so:(

)

= a
When you put it that way, it isn't enough :P
(

)

= a
(

)

=?
so you start with
(

)

=

8x+1=25 <-- subtract 1 to both sides
8x=24 <- divide 8 to both sides
x= 3
To find out if it's an extraneous solution ask yourself: It mustn't result in a radical that I like to call... 'illegal'. Plug it into the radicand 8x+1 and make sure you get something that is not a negative number.... so, DO you get a negative number when you plug in x = 3 into the radicand?
(extraneous solution is a invalid solution)
x=3 not extraneous
X = 29
61 + 90 = 151
180-151 = 29
Answer is 22.25, hope this helps!!
Is there any numbers to answer the question?
