2.125 = 17/8 = 21/8 as a fraction
Step by Step Solution
To convert the decimal 2.125 to a fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:
2.125 = 2.125/1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 3 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000. So,
2.125/1 = (2.125 x 1000)/(1 x 1000) = 2125/1000.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(2125,1000) = 125. So,
(2125÷125)/(1000÷125) = 17/8 when reduced to the simplest form.
As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 2125/1000 is also equal to 2 1/8 when expressed as a mixed number.

Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
