Answer: <em>"7 is a solution to the original equation. The value –1 is an extraneous solution."</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation
can be solved by squaring both sides:

We can see that -1 and 7 are solutions, but make sure they are not extraneous by substituting them in the original equation:

The square root of 49 equals 7, but the square root of -1 is an imaginary number.
The correct choice is <em>"7 is a solution to the original equation. The value –1 is an extraneous solution."</em>
Answer: 102°
Step-by-step explanation:
First and foremost, we should note that an isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal and that the sum of angles in a triangle equals to 180°.
Since we are told that the isosceles triangle has base angles that each measure 39°, the third angle will be:
t + 39° + 39° = 180°
t + 78° = 180°
t = 180° - 78°
t = 102°
The third angle is 102°.
$22.50. change 25% into decimal. 0.25 and multiply the original price by percent in decimal form you will get the amount that is taken off so subtract that from original:)
Answer:
Ben needs to get a 99% on his second test
Step-by-step explanation:
The average is the sum of both test scores, divided by the total number of test scores (2).
Let x by the grade Ben must receive on his second test.
(89 + x)/2 = 94
Multiply by 2 on both sides
89 + x = 188
Subtract 89 on both sides
x = 99
Check work:
(89 + 99)/2 = 188/2 = 99
