What’s the closest distance to the square root of 17?

4² =16

5² =25

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the perfect squares and determine if 17 is closer to the 2 square roots it is in-between. In this case, 17 is closest to 16.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
