no.
in laymans terms the "long way"....
u gotta get the 130 on the left to equal the right
7 is on bottom so you need 7 x 130 to be the top number (910)
whatever the square root is you'll multiply by the 10 outside of the symbol.....910 divided by 10 is 91
what is 91 the square root of? (91x91=8281)
we already have 5345 in there so we just need 1/3x to equal whatever added to 5345 = 8281
8281-5345=2946
2946+5345=8281 - check
1/3 of 2946 = 982
voila...code.
(before any teachers respond, yes..i am of course aware i can simplify the demonitor by multiplying both sides by 7 then solving but I find when explaining math (not in a school environment)..people learn easier with good old fashion deduction

Re: Teachers
lmao thats exactly how i did it but i fucked my math up at 1 spot
the sad part is, i wanna go back to University (University and College is diff up here). To do so I need to upgrade some high school marks so Im actually in Grade 11 functions taking this shit right now

Funny, I used the same exact steps, then realized, why am i even trying this at this very step, so i stopped.Nole4real wrote:whatever the square root is you'll multiply by the 10 outside of the symbol.....910 divided by 10 is 91

Re: Teachers
1/3rd of 8808 is 2936
2936 + 5345 = 8281
square of 8281 = 91
91 x 10 = 910
910 / 7 = 130
therefore X is 8088 lol
2936 + 5345 = 8281
square of 8281 = 91
91 x 10 = 910
910 / 7 = 130
therefore X is 8088 lol

Re: Teachers
X by 7 both sides.
10sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 910
Divide by 10
sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 91
Square both sides
1/3X + 5345 = 8281
Subtract 5345
1/3X = 2936
Multiply by 3
X = 8808
10sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 910
Divide by 10
sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 91
Square both sides
1/3X + 5345 = 8281
Subtract 5345
1/3X = 2936
Multiply by 3
X = 8808

Who would have guessed that Nick would be the first to answer correctly. When pappafingers Nole threw out his answer I just assumed it was 100% correct, he sounded so damn positive he got it.cougnix wrote:X by 7 both sides.

Re: Teachers
Considering it takes all of 12 seconds to solve this with any calculator, I wouldn't have made any bets on anyone answering correctly first. Too easy.GeorgesGoons wrote:Who would have guessed that Nick would be the first to answer correctly.

I wouldn't even know how to put that in a calculator so it definitely would have taken more than 12 seconds for me.dakshdar wrote:Considering it takes all of 12 seconds to solve this with any calculator, I wouldn't have made any bets on anyone answering correctly first.

Re: Teachers
Yes, it is 8808. He was a junior, but it is a regulars Algebra 2 class and for the majority of them this problem would be very difficult. It was for him.

I stand corrected
coug pointed out my error...in all fairness I was at work, rushing through and didn't even bother to check the answer....rookie mistake!!!
