@Ziva_vibes3y or the short way: 144 / 36 => 4

Because squaring the entire equation enclosed in the parentheses has the effect of negating the sqrt components (so you can just ignore them).

[Missing Tripod @MissingTripod]

@Ziva_vibes3y Interesting thing about this equation is that you can come to the correct answer in a couple of ways. The long way:
(sqrt[144] / sqrt[36])^2 =>
(12 / 6)^2 =>
2^2 =>
4

@farman4x sqrt[6X + 13] = 11 =>
6X + 13 = 121 =>
6X = 121 - 13 =>
6X = 108 =>
X = 108 / 6 =>
18

@farman4x Order Of Operations:

sqrt[144] + (sqrt[36] / sqrt[9]) x sqrt[64] =>
sqrt[144] + (6 / 3 ) x sqrt[64] =>
sqrt[144] + 2 x sqrt[64] =>
12 + 2 x 8 =>
12 + 16 =>
28

Took me at least a hundred times longer to type all this out than it did for me to initially solve it in my head.

@guldefteri When calculated correctly, the equation yields a quite ‘singular’ result. 😉

@Hazalizy (The reason is because 70 divided by one-half is the same as 70 multiplied by 2)

[Missing Tripod @MissingTripod]

@Hazalizy 70 / .5 + 55 yields:
140 + 55 yields:
the correct answer => 195

@BaileyBrine @Rainmaker1973 Designed and built my first (multi-processor) computer (out of chips and breadboards) in ‘76 and wrote the operating system, but apparently I have lost “the ability to breathe”, since I don’t automatically jump on every single latest bandwagon without evaluating first. WTAF?!

@MustafaCharts BTW: none of these equations like this require ’genius’ intellect (most are actually trivial in nature).

“Mathematical success, in large, lies in one’s ability to rigorously apply strongly formulated hypotheses, adapting them as necessary.”

@MustafaCharts 5

Because:

( sqrt(144) + sqrt( sqrt(81) ) ) / sqrt(9) yields:

( sqrt(144) + sqrt(9) ) / sqrt(9) yields:

( 12 + 3 ) / 3 yields:

15 / 3 yields: 5

@_isa_2210 BTW: none of these equations like this require ’genius’ intellect (most are actually trivial in nature).

“Mathematical success, in large, lies in one’s ability to rigorously apply strongly formulated hypotheses, adapting them as necessary.”

[Missing Tripod @MissingTripod]

@_isa_2210 32 because:

sqrt(X+32) = 8

Yields:

X+32 = 64

Yields:

X=-32+64
or alternately:
X=64-32

Either way X still equals 32

@GrumpyFelo @AP Anyone with a soul, maybe?
