Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First we will solve the radical equation</u> (which I guess was problem 1),

Let's start by simplifying it:

3\sqrt{6-x}+4=-8\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-8-4\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-12\\\sqrt{6-x}=-4

Now we will solve the equation by squaring both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{6-x} =-4\\6-x=-4^{2} \\6-x=16\\-x=16-6\\-x=10\\x=-10

So the calculation for x was that x = -10

However, this does not produce a solution to the equation: When we plug this value into the radical equation we get:

3\sqrt{6-x} +4= -8\\3\sqrt{6-(-10)} +4=-8\\3\sqrt{16}+4 = -8\\ 3(4)+4 = -8\\12 + 4 = -8

This happens because <u>when we first squared both sides of the equation in the first part of the problem we missed one value for x </u>(remember that all roots have 2 answers, a positive one and a negative one) while squares are always positive.

When we squared the root, we missed one value for x and that is why the calculation does not produce a solution to the equation.

The ratio of blue marbles to red marbles in a box is 3 to 2. if there are 12 blue marbles in a box then how many red marbles are
valkas [14]
The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:4 there are 36 students in the class how many students are girls
Alina [70]
First add up the total parts in the ratio.
5 + 4 = 9
Now we need to know the value of each part
36 / 9 = 4
The girls has total of 4 parts, therefore we can just multiply the number of parts by the amount in each part
4 x 4 = 16
So there r 16 girls in the class
