:D

Answer 22

but even if I multiply.... I still wouldn't just have the answer if I did 49*55=x

Answer 23

but what would you get?

Answer 24

There has to be more to the equation than just multiplication considering the problem states to round to the nearest 100th, that's a hint that their will be decimals.

Answer 25

2695

Answer 26

so what sysmbol do you use next?

Answer 27

Idk

Answer 28

I would think division but the x doesnt have a numeral with it so I am lost.

Answer 29

try using add with 55 and 49 what would you get?

Answer 30

104

Answer 31

what would that go to when you round it????

Answer 32

100... But it probably wants tangent and what not.

Answer 33

what if we did like 49=x/55.... Wouldn't that work better instead? that way we can use division and

Answer 34

okay but before we go farther what do you think x is higher or lower?

Answer 35

yes

Answer 36

So if we were using Tangant it would be 55 X 1.150 which would end up as 63.25

Answer 37

okay :D
