To solve for 
, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Take the square root of both sides, making sure to use both positive and negative roots.
cannot be simplified, so we'll leave it as-is.
Add 
to both sides to fully isolate .
Expand the solution by making two solutions, one where is positive and one where it's negative.
Move the constant to the right by adding it’s opposite to both sides
x+2-2= 7 squared - 2
Next remove the opposites
x= 7 squared -2 is your answer
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
If I get you right, you're asking for the percentage gain to the nearest percentage, right?
Now to do this, we need to get the amount of profit she made. That's quite easy, we only need to subtract the cost price from the selling price. And that equals $15 - $9.38 that equals $5.62.
Now, we divide this value by the cost price and multiply by 100% to get the percentage gain.
I.e 5.62/9.38 × 100%.
That gives 59.9% , which equals 60% when approximated to the nearest percentage.
The answer is 1/16 i think. Hope this helps! :)
