Question

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = (√10  -3)/2  and (-√10  -3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+3)^2 = 10

To solve the equation, take the square root of each side

sqrt((2x+3)^2) = ±√10

2x+3 = ±√10

Subtract 3 from each side

2x+3-3 = ±√10  -3

2x = ±√10  -3

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = (±√10  -3)/2

x = (±√10  -3)/2

There are two solutions

x = (√10  -3)/2

and (-√10  -3)/2
