Which is a counterexample that shows the statement is false? If you square a number, then the answer is greater than the number.

A. (1/2)^2= 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

B. (3/2)^2= 3/2 x 3/2 = 9/4

C. (2)^2= 2x2 = 4

D. (5)^2= 5x5 = 25

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!

1.5 pounds because you put 9over 6 and then divide by 6
