how to solve real numbers questions
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations in the real number system may have any real number in them. This includes any number that is not an imaginary number, which is the square root of a negative number. In this lesson, we will look at examples with integers (whole numbers that can be positive, negative or zero) and rational numbers (numbers that can be written as a fraction).
Solving an Equation with Integers
Equation for Example 1
1 For our first example, we will solve the equation -5x + 3 = -17. Remember the goal is to isolate the variable, x, by undoing the integers that are on the same side of the equation with it. The integer -5 is being multiplied by x, so we can use the opposite operation, division, to undo it. We can also undo the three by subtracting it.
-5(4) + 3 = -17
-20 + 3 = -17
-17 = -17
