## anonymous one year ago Which symbol creates a true sentence when x equals 7? 52 + (x – 3)2 __ 35 A. = B. > C. <

1. misty1212

HI!!

2. misty1212

is it $52+(x-3)^2~~~35$?

3. anonymous

yeah i think so

4. misty1212

lol if you do not know, who does?

5. anonymous

@misty1212 can you help me plz

6. misty1212

sure but i have to know what the question is first you did not write exponents, i kinda had to guess

7. misty1212

so maybe it is $52+(x-3)^2~~~35$ or maybe $5^2+(x-3)^2~~~35$

52 + (x – 3)2 __ 35

9. anonymous

it's the 2 one

10. misty1212

oooh ok

11. misty1212

replace $$x$$ by $$7$$ to get $5^2+(7-3)^2$ and now lets compute that

12. misty1212

what is $$5^2$$?

13. misty1212

if you don't know i will tell you

14. jameshorton

what the question

15. anonymous

yeah i dont know

16. misty1212

$5^2=5\times 5=25$

17. misty1212

and $$7-3=4$$ so $$(7-3)^2=4^2=16$$

18. misty1212

when you add you get $5^2+4^2=25+16=41$ so it is bigger than 35

19. misty1212

go with B $$>$$

`yes
