The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"

sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-x+10) = x+2 ... add x to both sides
-x+10 = (x+2)^2 ... square both sides
-x+10 = x^2+4x+4 ... use FOIL
x^2+5x-6 = 0 ... get everything to one side; combine like terms
(x-1)(x+6) = 0 ... factor
x-1=0 or x+6 = 0 ... zero product property
x = 1 or x = -6  .... solve each sub-equation for x

The possible solutions are x = 1 or x = -6. We need to check each of those solutions

Let's check x = 1
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-1+10)-1 = 2
sqrt(9)-1 = 2
3-1 = 2
2 = 2
So x = 1 has been confirmed

Let's check x = -6
sqrt(-x+10)-x = 2
sqrt(-(-6)+10)-(-6) = 2
sqrt(6+10)+6 = 2
sqrt(16)+6 = 2
4+6 = 2
10 = 2
The last equation is false, so x = -6 is extraneous. It's not a true solution

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

In summary, the value x = 1 is the only solution

The correct equation that goes through the point (3, 4) and is parallel to the line y=2x+1
abruzzese [7]

Answer: y = 2x -2

Step-by-step explanation: parallel is same slope diff y intercept

y = 2x

4 = 2(3) + x

4 = 6 + x

x = -2

Solve the following system of equations by graphing and select the correct answer below:
JulijaS [17]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of each line.

To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0 into the equation and solve for "x".

To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0 into the equation and solve for "y".

- For the first equation:

x-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4x + 3(0)= 29\\\\4x=29\\\\x=\frac{29}{4}\\\\x=7.25

y-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4(0) + 3y = 29\\\\3y=29\\\\y=\frac{29}{3}\\\\y=9.66

Graph a line that passes through the points (7.25, 0) and (0, 9.66)

- For the second equation:

x-intercept

2x - 3y = 1 \\\\2x - 3(0) = 1 \\\\2x=1\\\\x=0.5

y-intercept

2x - 3y = 1\\\\2(0) - 3y = 1\\\\-3y=1\\\\y=-0.33

Graph a line that passes through the points (0.5, 0) and (0, -0.33)

Observe the graph attached. You can see that point of intersection of the lines is (5,3); then this is the solution of the system. Therefore:

x=5\\y=3
