Question

Identify all of the following solutions of square root x+14+2=x

Answer 1

First add 14+2 so you have sqrt(x) +14=x. Next subtract the 14 to the other side and square both sides, so you have x=x^2+28x+196. Now subtract the x, then use quadratic formula to get the two solutions for the way you have the question typed. However, since I recognize this as being a test question from your FLVS course that is not typed correctly with the parenthesis that will give you the wrong answer. A better idea would be to review through the examples in the lesson, try a few practice problems, then you can easily solve by isolating the square root on one side by itself, then squaring both sides.
