Question 637028: 23. corinne calculated the area of a paper plate to be 50.27 square inches. If the actual area of the plate is 55.42 square inches, what is the relative error in calculating the area to the nearest thousandth?
I think that I have to subtract 50.27 from 55.42 which is 5.15 and then I think I am suppost to put it over some number but I dont know which number.
thank you tim

Question 638634: The area of a square increased by 3 is the same as 35 decreased by 7 times the area. Find the are of the square.
LET: x^2 = Area of a Square
WHERE: x^2 is made greater by 3 = 35 made smaller by 7x^2
CALCULATION
x^2+3=35-7x^2
x^2+3-3=35-3-7x^2
x^2=32-7x^2
x^2+7x^2=32-7x^2+7x^2
8x^2/8=32/8=>[x^2=4]
*When I evaluate the answer, it doesn't check.
