Hello! To solve for x means to isolate x:
y = x^2 + 7
y - 7 = x^2
sqrt(y - 7) = x
Answer:
x = sqrt(y - 7)
Hope this helps!
Answer: Choice A
Ahmed started 6 floors above ground level, then he went down 8 floors
The +6 or simply 6, is positive, so he's on the 6th floor to start. Then adding on -8, which is the same as subtracting 8, moves him down 8 floors.
6 + (-8) = 6 - 8 = -2 indicates he's 2 floors below ground level, so he's in basement level 2 (perhaps some kind of parking garage).
The answer is £150.
This could be calculated using proportion. If £1 is €1.2, how many £ is €180:
£1 : €1.2 = x : <span>€180
</span>x = £1 ÷ €1.2 × <span>€180</span>
x = £150
For problems like this we can use algebra to help us, the farenheight 6 hours ago was:
(2xt)-6=-20
We have to balance the sides out, first we minus 6
2xt=-26
Now we can divide by 2
t=-13
We now know the temperature 6 hours ago was -13
