Algebra.Com's Answer #578471 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! i believe you are saying sqrt(3) * x - x = 1 \n" ); document.write( "if so, then factor out the x to get (sqrt(3) - 1) * x = 1 \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by (sqrt(3) - 1) to get x = (1/sqrt(3)-1)) \n" ); document.write( "that's your solution. \n" ); document.write( "you can confirm by replacing x with 1 / (sqrt(3) - 1) in your original equation and showing that it is true. \n" ); document.write( "you will get: \n" ); document.write( "you can also confirm using your calculator. \n" ); document.write( "take 1/(sqrt(3)-1) and get its value using the calculator. \n" ); document.write( "the value will be 1.366025404 \n" ); document.write( "store that in your calculator memory and use it to evaluate the original equation. \n" ); document.write( "i stored it into a variable called A in my calculator \n" ); document.write( "that means that every time i use A, i am using 1.366025404. \n" ); document.write( "the original equation is sqrt(3) * x - x = 1 \n" ); document.write( "using my calculator, i evaluated sqrt(3) * A - A = 1 \n" ); document.write( "the answer i got was 1 = 1, confirming the value of x = 1/(sqrt(3)-1) = 1.366025404 is good. \n" ); document.write( "your solution is that x = 1/(sqrt(3)-1))\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
