Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct

The solution is:
Answer:  x = 9

10 1/2 * 10 1/2 simplify
Marta_Voda [28]

\frac{441}{4}

change the mixed numbers to improper fractions and multiply the numerators / denominators

10 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{21}{2}

\frac{21}{2} × \frac{21}{2} = \frac{441}{4} = 1110 \frac{1}{4}
