Answer: x = 64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematical notation, the problem is to solve the following equation

\sqrt{x} + x = 72

We can assume that the new variable is (x^{1/2}), so the equation is:

(x^{1/2} )^{2} + (x^{1/2} ) -72 = 0

We can solve this like a normal quadratic equation

x^{1/2} = \frac{-1±\sqrt{1-4(1)(-72)}}{2}

x^{1/2}  = \frac{-1±17}{2},

The solutions are

x^{1/2} = -9 \\ x^{1/2} = 8

We use the positive one, because a square can not be negative

So, x^{1/2} = 8, x = 64

To prove the answer

\sqrt{64} + 64 = 72
