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)

Solve 4(x + 2) = 20
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

\sf 4(x + 2) = 20

\sf 4x + 8 = 20

\sf 4x = 20 - 8

\sf 4x = 12

\sf x = \frac{12}{4}

\sf x = 3

check:

4(x + 2) = 20

4(3 + 2) = 20

4(5) = 20

20 = 20

Hence proved x = 3

find a number such that when 3/4 of it is added to 3½the sum is the same as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6½. PLEASE HELP​
galben [10]

Answer:

- 120

Step-by-step explanation:

call x is the number you want to find

  1. (3/4 )x + 3\frac{1}{2} = (2/3)x - 6\frac{1}{2}
  2. (3/4)x + (7/2) = (2/3)x - (13/2)
  3. (3/4)x - (2/3)x = - (13 /2) - (7/2)
  4. (1/12)x = -10
  5. x = -10 / (1/12) = -120
