Answer:
H, 7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain which number is the least we can already rule out the two positive values. Then we must find which negative value is "larger" keeping in mind that a larger negative value is actually a smaller number.
-26/5 = -5(1/5)= -5.20 which is less than -5.1717171....
for the two positive numbers, we know that [tex]\sqrt{33}[/tex] is between 5 and 6, as 5 squared is 25 and 6 squared is 36. 37/6 is larger than 6 which means it must be the greatest value number. so the order goes
-26/5, -5.17,[tex]\sqrt{33}[/tex], 37/6
for problem #2
12x-15 = 6-3x
add 15 to both sides
12x = 6-3x+15
add 3x to both sides
12x+3x=6+15
add like terms
15x=21
x= 21/15
simplify as both top and bottom are divisible by 3
x= 7/5
