Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A stock has a price of $68.54. This is $7.18 less than the price of the stock yesterday.

Let the price of the stock yesterday is represented by p.

Therefore, the required equation is:

Now solve the above equation for p.

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
