Answer: Choice A
Set the radicand (stuff under the radical) greater than or equal to 0. Solve x+11 >= 0 for x to get x >= -11
Since 11 out of 55 specials were salmon filet,
The percentage of specials that were salmon filet is 11/55 = 20/100 = 20%.
If you mean that you want to solve the equation for v, then all you need to do is to multiply both sides by 3:

Negative times negative = positive.
=0.63−(−9.85)
=0.63+9.85
=10.48
D) is the answer.
