Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12
The answer would be -15x+36. To solve this equation, you would first use distributive property and distribute the -9 to the values inside the parentheses (or multiply them). So, you would multiply -9 and x and -9 and -4 to get -9x+36-6x. Then, you combine like terms, which are -9x and -6x to get -15x. You can't simplify any further without knowing the value of x. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your answer is a
19+x/2=4
multiply 2 on both sides
19+x=4 times 2
19+x=8
subtract 19 on each side
x=8-19
subtract
x=-11
5: 90 can also be written as a fraction 5/90 then reduce the fraction
5/90 (5*1=5/5*18=90) so it reduces to 1/18
the ratio simplified is 1:18
