Answer:
Last option: Square both sides of the equation in step 1 to eliminate the square root.
Step-by-step explanation:
The error is in the process of subtracting 3 from both sides, since +3 is inside the root.
In order to be able to operate with the terms that are inside the root, we need to eliminate the root, and for that we need to square both sides of the equal sign.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor the original expression:
As we can see, D is the same as above. Eliminate D.
Go through each of the answer choices.
A:
This is equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate A.
B:
This is again equivalent to what we factored. Eliminate B.
C:
This cannot be simplified and it is not equivalent to what we have previously. C is not the equivalent expression.
6/10
3/5
24/40
36/60

60/100
Answer:
a = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 3x + 5 , then
f(a) = 3a + 5 and f(a) = - 13 , then equating the right sides
3a + 5 = - 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3a = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = - 6
