Salma Wiley · Answer 1

a) To create an equation

X+X = 7

so what's X over here is

7² = x²

X=3.5

b) Real numbers are mixture of irrational and rational numbers so √5 and √6 are irrational where as 5 and 6 are not but they two are equal to each other.

Explaining the equation:

√5 + √6 = √11

5 + 6 = 11

√11 = 11

√ = 11 : 11

√ = 1

So if root is 1 then - 1 is - √

this is the answer propably
