Let x = the number
\n" ); document.write( "then from
\n" ); document.write( " 1/8 of the square root of 7 less than a number is 2 what is the number
\n" ); document.write( "we get:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/8)(sqrt(x-7)) =2
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying both sides by 8:
\n" ); document.write( "(sqrt(x-7)) = 16
\n" ); document.write( "squaring both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x-7 = 256
\n" ); document.write( "x = 263\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
