Answer:
Nolan correctly identified the square numbers before and after 18.
The square roots of them are 4 and 5.
Clearly, square root of 18 should lie between 4 and 5 only.
He, then carefully squared 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc. and identified that 4.3 squared is nearer to 18.
Since, Nolan is finding estimated square root, his steps are cool and he didn't make any error.
Let's factor the top and the bottom.
Top factors 4x + 20 = 4(x + 5)
Bottom x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
The gcf is the largest value that will go into both the top and the bottom. In our problem the ONLY thing that will go into top and bottom is x + 5 so that is your GCF. (c)
Answer:
x = 4 , y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 3y = 7 -- (1)
3x - 3y = 15 -- (2)
Rewriting (1), x = 3y + 7 -- (1)'
Substituting (1)' into (2),
3 ( 3y + 7 ) - 3y = 15
9y + 21 - 3y = 15
6y = -6
y = -1 -- (3)
Substituting (3) into (1),
x - 3 ( - 1 ) = 7
x + 3 = 7
x = 4 -- (4)
According to (3) and (4),
x = 4 , y = -1
