Estimate the square root of the following imperfect square: 7.
a. 2.2
b. 2.4
C. 2.6
d. 2.8

This problem is just try and error.

First we try number 2.5 since its the average of all the answers.

2.5^2=6.25

This is smaller than 7 so the answer is either 2.6 or 2.8

Now let's try 2.7

2.7^2=7.29

Which is bigger than 7 and that means the correct answer is 2.6 :)

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
