Take the square root. The opposite of squaring something is taking the root :)
√x^2 = √26
x = √26
x = 5.099...
OR leave it if your teacher doesn't want a decimal since it can't be simplified anymore
Answer: B and D are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A is wrong because they will eventually intersect (the arrows show that the line continues on).
B is correct; that is where they will intersect.
C is wrong because they only intersect at one point, and that's where the solution is.
D is correct because they intersect once and have only one solution.
So,
187 divided by 7
187/7
Mixed: 26 5/7
Decimal: 26.714285 (there is a vinculum over the "714285")
