Jerrod has c baseball cards. linda has 38 baseball cards, which is 5 more than one-third the number jerrod has.
which equation shows an equality between two different ways of expressing how many baseball cards linda has?
a. c + 5 = 38
b. c – 5 = 38
c. 3c – 5 = 38
d. 1/3c+5=38

The answer is D since 38-5=33 and then its says one third of it so then you must divide

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
