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

Answer:

the answer is d. 4x²+x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to combine the fractions, they need to have the same denominator.

So, multiply each of their numerators by the denominator they need to be equivalent.

This would look like this:

3x/x+3 --> 3x(x)/x(x+3)        ---simplify this as--> 3x²/x(x+3)

x-2/x  --> (x-2)(x+3)/x(x+3)  ---simplify this as --> x²+x - 6/x(x+3)

3x                    3x(x)                                     x-2                   (x-2)(x+3)

-----      --->        -----                 and             --------   --->           ---------

x+3                   x(x+3)                                    x                        x(x+3)

now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add their numerators.

3x² + x²+x-6 = 4x²+x -6

This should now look like this:

4x²+x -6

-------------

x(x+3)

Solve the system of equation
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

plain = $10.50

pepperoni = $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

x = pepperoni

y = plain

3x + 2y = 58.5

2x + 4y = 67

using substitution method, I multiplied the first system by -2 to get:

   -6x - 4y = -117

+   2x + 4y =  67

-4x = -50

x = $12.50

2(12.5) + 4y = 67

25 + 4y = 67

4y = 42

y = $10.50
