Use these steps to estimate the square root of a number that is not a
perfect square.
What is
45 ?
Step 1
Identify a perfect square that is a little more than 45.
The square root of 49 = 7.
Step 2
Identify a perfect square that is a little less than 45.
The square root of 36 = 6.

After locating a square root between two consecutive integers, you can
determine which of the two integers the square root is closer to.
27 is between the perfect squares 25 and 36:
25 < 27
< 36
25 <
So:
And:
The difference between 27 and 25 is 2;
the difference between 36 and 27 is 9.
So,

A literal equation has more than one variable. Solve literal equations the same way
you solve other equationsby using inverse operations.
Compare solving a = 3b + c for b as is, to solving it when a = 17 and c = 5.
a = 3b + c
a = 3b + c
a
= 3b + c
c
