1. (3x-2)/4+1=5
2. (3x-2)/4+1-1=5-1
3. (3x-2)/4=4
4. (3x-2)/4+2=4+2
5. this is the mistake, wecan't just add them because the fractions aren't the same
(3x-2)/4 plus 2/1, the bottom numbers areen't the same

what should be done is go back to step 4 and mltiply both sides by 4, don't add 2
results in
5. 3x-2=16
6. 3x=18
7. x=6

58 divided by 7<br> What is the remainder in fraction form

Maru [420]

Since 7*8= 56 if you divide 58 by 7 you would get 8 with a remainder of 2. The remainder goes over the divisor so it would be 8 and 2\7

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.

$\text{Apply Pythagorean theorem,}\\\\~~~~~~~~\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2 + \text{Perpendicular}^2\\\\\implies 9^2 = \text{Base}^2 + \left(2\sqrt{14} \right)^2\\\\\implies 81 = \text{Base}^2 + 56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 81-56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 25\\\\\implies \text{Base} = \sqrt{25}\\\\\implies \text{Base} = 5\\\\\text{The length of the third side is 5 units.}$
