Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the repeating 3 placed after the decimal point.
let x = 0.5333.. ( multiply both sides by 10 and 100 )
10x = 5.333... → (1)
100x = 53.333... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) tus eliminating the repeating 3
90x = 48 ( divide both sides by 90 )
x = =
Answer:
No real solutions;
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest method to solve an algebraic equation is to use inverse operations. This applies to the given equation;
- Take the square root of both sides
==================================================================
As one can see, the right side is a negative number. However, one cannot take the square root of a negative number and get a real result. Therefore, one must use imaginary numbers. Remember, the imaginary unit () represents (
).
==================================================================
- Add (3) to undo the (-3)
- Divide by (2) to remove the coefficient of (2x)
