no.
in laymans terms the "long way"....
u gotta get the 130 on the left to equal the right
7 is on bottom so you need 7 x 130 to be the top number (910)
whatever the square root is you'll multiply by the 10 outside of the symbol.....910 divided by 10 is 91
what is 91 the square root of? (91x91=8281)
we already have 5345 in there so we just need 1/3x to equal whatever added to 5345 = 8281
8281-5345=2946
2946+5345=8281 - check
1/3 of 2946 = 982
voila...code.
(before any teachers respond, yes..i am of course aware i can simplify the demonitor by multiplying both sides by 7 then solving but I find when explaining math (not in a school environment)..people learn easier with good old fashion deduction

Funny, I used the same exact steps, then realized, why am i even trying this at this very step, so i stopped.

1/3rd of 8808 is 2936
2936 + 5345 = 8281
square of 8281 = 91
91 x 10 = 910
910 / 7 = 130
therefore X is 8088 lol

What if your number is wrong and nicks is right?

Check that, Nole's still a big dummy like we thought.

X by 7 both sides.
10sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 910
Divide by 10
sqrt(1/3X + 5345) = 91
Square both sides
1/3X + 5345 = 8281
Subtract 5345
1/3X = 2936
Multiply by 3
X = 8808

Who would have guessed that Nick would be the first to answer correctly. When pappafingers Nole threw out his answer I just assumed it was 100% correct, he sounded so damn positive he got it.

Considering it takes all of 12 seconds to solve this with any calculator, I wouldn't have made any bets on anyone answering correctly first. Too easy.

I wouldn't even know how to put that in a calculator so it definitely would have taken more than 12 seconds for me.

Yes, it is 8808. He was a junior, but it is a regulars Algebra 2 class and for the majority of them this problem would be very difficult. It was for him.

I knew you were wrong before I did any calculating because most phones require four digits for passwords.
