Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" can be signified by a variable.

Is 7 means the end result is 7.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION
(Mark brainliest pls)

Square root is 2 square + 4 square + 1 because 1 does not enable a square perhaps for negatives to be imputed, and we know 2 square will be 1 hence,

1 x 1 = 1 squared
2 x 2 = 4 squared
Perhaps for 1, you will have to use a formula equation and add tang maybe. Etc I don’t know if tang but u will also have to convert 1 to a decimal to find the square root of 1, 1 is an odd number so it will end up with remainder decimals or just do 1x1, etc.

Hence u

(2 square + 4 square) + 1square?

It depends on addition or order of operations subtraction addition or you will might use multiply
if the subject is about multiply or Division so try and do it because i don’t know if I’m right
