Add 1 to both sides:

In cases like this, we have to remember that a root is always positive, so we can square both sides only assuming that

Under this assumption, we square both sides and we have

The solutions to this equation are

But since we can only accept solutions greater than -1, we discard
and accept
.
In fact, we have

and

which is the only solution.
B; 25.65+13.23+6.35=45.23
To do this mentally just add the 2 decimals places together first (1.23). Then just add the whole numbers (44). Then add the 2 numbers together, 44+1.23=45.23
The ratio is 0.394 cm. / 1 in.
We have the equation:

By arranging this equation in terms of x and y, we have:

By using the method of completing the square, we have:

The center of this circle is:

So the equation that fulfills the statement is:

Finally, the right answer is c)
