When radicals (square roots) include variables, they are still simplified the same way. We just have to work with variables as well as numbers
1) Factor the radicand (the numbers/variables inside the square root). Factor the number into its prime factors and expand the variable(s).
2) Bring any factor listed twice in the radicand to the outside
Hey there! :)
Answer:
x = 242 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by setting up a proportion between the actual college building and the drawing.

Cross multiply:
99 × 22 = 9 × x
2178 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9:
2178/9 = 9x/9
x = 242 mm.
Answer:
x > -2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 5.1 (3 + 2.2x) > -14.25 - 6 (1.7x + 4)
2) 15.3 + 11.22x > -14.25 - 10.2x - 24
3) 15.3 + 11.22x > -38.25 - 10.2x
4) 11.22x + 10.2x > -38.25 - 15.3
5) 21.42x > -53.55
6) x > -2.5
Alternate forms
x > -5/2x or x > -2 1/2
