Complete the work shown to find a possible

solution of the equation.

(x-5)2 +5 = 2

(x+5)-3

(x - 5)2 = (-37

172

a possible solution of the equation is

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression takes the form of a radical surd. to solve a radical surd we need to isolate the expression with the root from those not under the root sign

first;

this a surd, so

to eliminate the root we need to multiply it by an expression that will take it away,

since a root is the same as a power of half ()^1/2, then multiplying a half by two will make it one

we need to square both sides to eliminate the root

x -5 = (-3)^2

make x subject

x = 9 + 5

x = 14

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
