Find x
5x-17 = 3x + 1
5x -3x = 17 + 1
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2
X = 9
Find the measure of FG
mFG = 5x - 17
mFG = 5(9) - 17
mFG = 45-17
mFG = 28
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-28-2x=-10
We move all terms to the left:
8x-28-2x-(-10)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
6x-18=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
6x=18
x=18/6
x=3
To get the square root of imperfect square we can use the formula , which is usually accurate to about two decimal places,
√X =√S +(X-S)2√S
Where, X = the number you want the square roof of, and S is the closest square you know to x.
For example 75 is an imperfect square
Thus, X=75 and thus the nearest number S = 81, this ,means √81 =9.
Putting this into the formula;
√75= 9+(75-81)/2/2(9)
= 9 + -6/18
= 9-0.33333 = 8.667
= 8.667, thus the square root of 75 is 8.66
