(12 x 2) - 5 because twice as many means to multiply by 2. fewer means to subtract.
-x + -x-1 + -x-2 = -204
-3x=-201
x=-67
-67-68-69=-204
Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given
40 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )
40 = x² or
x² = 40 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ±
= ± 2
My teacher taught me to make an imaginary decimal and 0 at the beginning of the number and then move the decimal to the end of the number... idk that may be the wrong way to do it but you can try :/
