Answer:
First step: Combined like terms on left side
Second step: Combined like terms on both sides
Third step: Simplified y multiplying both sides by 2/5
1. sqrt 52 = 7.211 rounds to 7
2. irrational number
3. sqrt 441 = 21....rational
4. 12^2 + 3^2 = h^2
144 + 9 = h^2
153 = h^2
sqrt 153 = h
12.4 = h <===
5. 6^2 + b^2 = 18^2
36 + b^2 = 324
b^2 = 324 - 36
b^2 = 288
b = sqrt 288
b = 16.97 rounds to 17 <==
6. 39^2 + 52^2 = c^2
1521 + 2704 = c^2
4225 = c^2
sqrt 4225 = c
65 = c
(39 + 52) - 65 = 91 - 65 = 26 miles shorter <==
7. 4^2 + b^2 = 16^2
16 + b^2 = 256
b^2 = 256 - 16
b^2 = 240
b = sqrt 240
b = 15.49 rounds to 15.5 <==
8. ?
(x - 4)(x^2 + 3x + 2) =
x(x^2 + 3x + 2) - 4(x^2 + 3x + 2) =
x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x - 4x^2 - 12x - 8 =
x^3 -x^2 - 10x - 8
6 7/8 -> 55/8 /5= 11/8*6= 66/8 /2 = 33/4
