Hello, I am really confused about this problem! Hope you can help!
The equation is : 7-12 square root 1/9.
There's no equal sign, so that's not an equation.
What do you want to do?
==========================
7+-+12sqrt%281%2F9%29+=+7+-+12%2A%281%2F3%29+=+7-4
= 3
----------
Is that it?
----------------
Don't call things equations that are not, and state what it is you're trying to do.
=======================
I was thinking that it would be 7-12(1/3) = 7-4 and the answer would be 3.
Thank you!
