Answer:
Step 1(Base step) − It proves that a statement is true for the initial value. Step 2(Inductive step) − It proves that if the statement is true for the nth iteration (or number n), then it is also true for (n+1)th iteration ( or number n+1).
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
The square root of 8 is somewhere between 2 and 3, because

So,
is between -1 and 0, whereas
is between 2 and 3.
So, we have

(2)
The square root of 25 is 5, because 
So, the left hand side is exactly

You seem to have already computed the right hand side to be 2.30, so we have

Answer:
x = 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides
</u>
7x − 12 - 5x = 5x + 17 - 5x
2x - 12 = 17
<u>Step 2: Add 12 to both sides
</u>
2x - 12 + 12 = 17 + 12
2x = 29
<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 2
</u>
2x / 2 = 29 / 2
<em>x = 14.5
</em>
Answer: x = 14.5
2 is the answer hope it helps
