One eight of the square root of 7 less than a number is 2. what is the number?

Question

i need help please!!!! and then how do i check the answer???

Answer 1

Put this word problem into an equation. Pretend that this "number" is variable "x." So... x-(sqrt(7)/8) = 2.

Working all of that out gives us approximately 2.33. Check by plugging the answer back into the equation.

Answer 2

I got 2.331, rounding to the nearest thousandth..

(x is the number)

x-(square root of 7/8)=2
