Answer:
Radical expressions must be simplified before adding or subtracting so that you are combining “like terms”. In the same way that 2x2 and 3x cannot be combined because they are not like terms, terms involving radicals cannot be combined unless the value under the radical is the same for both terms.
Answer:
a)17.92
b) 16.83 .... 21.17
Step-by-step explanation:
ρ→ z
0.14 = -1.080319341
-1.080 = (x - 19)/1 = 17.92
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3% / 2 = 1.5%
1.5% - 98.5%
ρ→ z
0.015 = -2.170090378 .... -2.17 = (x-19) =16.83
0.985 = 2.170090378 .... 2.17 = (x-19) =21.17
The answer is x= - 11/ 16
You can check this by plugging in x for -11/16
