Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual approach to these is to square the radicals until they are gone.
Each time the equation is squared, the possibility of an extraneous root is introduced. Here, x=3 is extraneous: it does not satisfy the original equation.
The solution is x = -1.
_____
Using a graphing calculator to solve the original equation can avoid extraneous solutions. The attachment shows only the solution x = -1. Rather than use f(x) = 2, we have rewritten the equation to f(x)-2 = 0. The graphing calculator is really good at showing the function values at the x-intercepts.

Answer: 15</h3>
===============================================
Work Shown:
d = common difference
p = first term = 24
q = second term = a+d = 24+d
r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6
------------
Solve for d
24+2d = 6
2d = 6-24
2d = -18
d = -18/2
d = -9
We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.
------------
First term = 24
Second term = 24-9 = 15
Third term = 15-9 = 6
We get the sequence 24, 15, 6
Answer:
$720
Step-by-step explanation:
$20000 - 100%
$x. - 2.5%
x=(20000*2.5)/100=500
20000+500=$20500 in one year (Mark)
20000 - 100
x. - 6.1
x= (20000*6.1)/100 = 1220
20000+1220= $21220 (Walter)
21220-20500= $720 more (Walter will have after 1 year)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 +1/n = 7/8
1/n= -5/8 +7/8
1/n = 2/8
1/n= 1/2
then you would try to get n by itself
by dividing n/1 to 1/n and 1/2
