Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to apply the following identity:

Then, applying this, you know that for
:

We need to remember that:
and 
Therefore, we need to substitute these values into
.
Then, you get:



Keywords:
<em>equation, operations, equivalent, binomial, square root
</em>
For this case we have an equation in which we must apply operations to rewrite it in an equivalent way. We must start by raising both sides of the equation to the square. Thus, we eliminate the square root of the left side of equality and finally solve the binomial of the right side of equality.
So we have:

By definition:

Thus,
is equivalent to 
Answer:

Option D
You would simply add the last two equations together. If v=2x+1 and t=4x-1, you can add them up. This would make 2x+1+4x-1. If you combine like terms, 1 and -1 cancel out and you are left with 6x. This means x can be anything.
72 is multiples of 3,9, and 12
Knowing the fractions increase, the arrow should be pointing to 5/8.
