Answer: +/- 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² = 147
To solve for x divide through by three first.
3x² = 147
x² = 49, now we take the square root of both side by trying to apply laws of indices.
√x² = √49
The square root will neutralize the effect of the square because
√a = a¹/² so (x²)¹/², and (x²)¹/² =
x²×¹/² = x, therefore the solution is
x = +/- 7.
5n-2=n+18
Move n to the other side
Sign changes from +n to -n
5n-n-2= n-n+18
5n-n-2= 18
4n-2= 18
Move -2 to the other side
Sign changes from -2 to +2
4n-2+2= 18+2
4n= 18+2
4n= 20
Divide by 4 for both sides
4n/4= 20/4
Answer: n=5
Use the cone formula:
And so:

5654866.7 / 12000 = 471,
So the answer is 471 weeks.
Hope this helps.
