Answer:
4±√5
EXPLAINED ANSWER:
Since the variable is a binomial and it is squared, we apply square root on both side, and apply the ± sign on the right side (since the solution of a square root can be both positive and negative), and later pass the 4 positive to the other side.
√25 can be (5)(5) or (-5)(-5)
<u>1</u> : 3

Make the whole number a fraction, by putting it over 1.
<u>1</u> : <u>3</u>
8 1
Turn the second fraction upside down and multiply:
<u>1</u> . <u>1</u> = <u>1 </u>

S = 1/24
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
find slope
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so
(-4,-1)
(3,-3)
slope=(-3-(-1))/(3-(-4))=(-3+1)/(3+4)=-2/7
y-(-1)=-2/7(x-(-4))
y+1=-2/7(x+4)
Answer:
The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we will attribute variables to the ages of Michael and his father. For his father age we will attribute a variable called "f" and for Michael's age we will attribute a variable called "x". The first information that the problem gives us is that Michael's dad is 30 years of age, so we have:
f = 30
Then the problem states that the age of the father is 2 years "more" than four "times" Michaels age. The "more" implies a sum and the "times" implies a product, so we have:
f = 2 + 4*x
We can now find Michael's age, for that we need to isolate the "x" variable. We have:
f - 2 = 4*x
4*x = f - 2
x = (f-2)/4
x = (30 - 2)/4 = 7 years
The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.
