Question

Solve for x. Show your work. (4 pts ) x=(14-(6^(2))/(4))+(16-(7^(2))/(5))

Answer 1

Explanation:

x = (14 - (6^2)/4) + (16 - (7^2)/5)

Calculate the values within the parentheses first:

For the first term: 14 - (6^2)/4

= 14 - 36/4

= 14 - 9

= 5

For the second term: 16 - (7^2)/5

= 16 - 49/5

= 16 - 9.8

= 6.2

Add the results of the two terms:

x = 5 + 6.2

= 11.2
