We want to solve
√(2x+4) - √(x) = 2

Write equation as
√(2x+4) = √x + 2
Square each side.
2x + 4 = x + 4√x + 4
x = 4√x
x - 4√x = 0
√x (√x - 4) = 0

Either 
√x = 0 => x = 0
or
√x = 4 => x = 16

Test for extraneous solutions.
When x = 0:
√(2x+4) - √x = 2  (Correct)
When x = 16:
√(2x+4) - √x = √(36) - √(16) = 6 - 4 = 2 (Correct)

A plot of f(x) = √(2x+4) - √x - 2 = 0 confirms hat the solutions are correct.

Answer: B. x = 0 and x = 16.

There are 25 servings in a 30.2-ounce jar of peanut butter. How many ounces of peanut butter are there in 1
Wewaii [24]
There should be 1.208 ounces of peanut butter in one serving. Since we are finding how many ounces in a serving, we divide from 30.2. 30.2 divided by 25 should be 1.208 ounces. :) I hope this helped

The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer. Find the two integers.
Minchanka [31]

The small number is 2.

The large number is 3.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.

  • x be the small integer.
  • x+1 be the large integer.

The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer

The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)

It is given that,

  • The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • Here, the small integer is represented as x.

<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>

(2x+1) = 3x-1

Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,

3x-2x = 1+1

x = 2

Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.
