Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2x − 1) + 2 = x

√(2x − 1) = x − 2

2x − 1 = (x − 2)²

2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4

0 = x² − 6x + 5

0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)

x = 1 or 5

Check for extraneous solutions.

√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1

√(1) + 2 = 1

3 = 1

No solution

√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5

√(9) + 2 = 5

5 = 5

x = 5

What is the value of pie and how can I round it to the nearest tenth

Orlov [11]

The Value of Pi is actually an infinite number and cannot be calculated. It is not a real number. Usually many just shorten Pi to the decimal 3.14, which it is most commonly used as since there is no exact decimal of Pi.
