Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{4x+41}=x+5

on squaring both sides

4x+41=(x+5)^2\\\\4x+41=x^2+10x+25\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\\\\x^2+8x-2x-16=0\\\\x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0\\\\(x-2)(x+8)=0

either x-2=0  or  x+8=0

either x=2 or x=-8

Putting x=2 in original equation, we get

\sqrt{4\times 2+41}=2+5

7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution

Putting x=-8 in original equation

\sqrt{4\times (-8)+41}=-8+5

i.e. 3=-3

Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)

prohojiy [21]

The entire trip will take 6 days.

(Encircle this answer, as said on the directions)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first three days of the trip, we traveled 1380 miles.

Find the UNIT RATE of MILES PER day:

1380/3 = 460

Unit rate = 460 miles per day

If we were to drive at this (460 mi per day) rate EACH day and the whole journey takes 2760 miles across the country.

FInd the NUMBER of DAYS of the ENTIRE TRIP:

2760/460 = 6

It will take us 6 days to drive to the destination.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!! Solve for X. 15=7x+3-5x X=_(simplify your answer)
dedylja [7]

Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15=7x+3−5x

15=7x+3+−5x

15=(7x+−5x)+(3)(Combine Like Terms)

15=2x+3

15=2x+3

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2x+3=15

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

2x+3−3=15−3

2x=12

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x2=122

x=6

Answer:

x=6
