I actually posted this a while ago and it got answerd by a smart person so here's what I understood
the error is that it assumes that √(x²)=x
because if x is negative, it becomes positive
that's how the 2nd line is wrong
the 2nd line is the first wrong step
it goes from 4-9/2+9/2
so it goes from 4-4.5+4.5
notice the part under the parenthsees
√((4-4.5)²)
if we evaluate 4-4.5, we get -0.5
but by squaring it we get 0.5
-0.5+4.5=4, yes
but when we square it we get
0.5+4.5=5, that is how it works
Answer:
I'll find X for you; the next step is by you.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have two similar pentagons
I will do it in 2 ways.
1.
=> 48/4x = (x+2)/x
=> 12/x = (x+2)/x
Because of pentagons so x > 0
=> 12 = x + 2 => x = 10
2.
k is unknown number
=> 4x = k.x and 48 = k.(x + 2) (x > 0)
=> k = 4 and 48 = 4.(x + 2)
=> 12 = x + 2 => x = 10
The tenth place is the number on the right of the decimal which is
6703.58
So to round to the nearest tenth, look at the number before it, which is 8. The rule for rounding: 5+ = round up, 4 or less = keep as same number
8 is a number that is 5+ so we round 5 (number in the tenths place) up one number
6703.6
7(x - 4) - 3(x + 5)
Distribute the 7 and 3
7x - 28 - 3x - 15
4x - 43
