Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first step is to simplify the expression within the square root as follows:

((9 + 7) / (4 * 2)) + 2 = 8 / 8 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

Substituting this value back into the original expression gives:

x = Math.Sqrt(3)

Using a calculator, we get:

x ≈ 1.732

Therefore, the answer is (B) 2, since none of the other choices matches the approximate value of x.
