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)

Answer:

90/23

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to start in the parentheses. 5-6=-1, then multiply it by -2. Since a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, -2*-1=2. -3^2=-9. 2+8=10. Then -9 times 10= -90. Then, we move on to the bottom. 5--2=7. 4^2=16, and -2(2)=-4. So -5(7) + 16-4=-23. Now, the equation should look like this, -90/-23. Put the negatives together and you get 90/23.

Divide. Write in simplest form. 10 divided by 1 2/3 ?
adell [148]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.

Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.

So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.

It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.

Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.

Find two integers whose difference is -6. ( There are many!)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are infinitely many such integers.

x - y = -6            <em>add y to both sides</em>

x = -6 + y → x = y - 6

1. Choose any y value.

2. Substitute for the equation.

3. Calculate the value of x.

Examples:

for y = 0 → x = 0 - 6 = -6

check: -6 - 0 = -6

for y = 10 → x = 10 - 6 = 4

check: 4 - 10 = -6

for y = -9 → x = -9 - 6 = -15

check: -15 - (-9) = -15 + 9 = -6
