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

Rewrite the following equation in standard form and determine if there is a solution.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

| x + 4 |  = -1    No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                 3 | x + 4 | + 12 = 9

Subtract 12 from both sides:         3 | x + 4 |  = -3

Divide both sides by 3:                     | x + 4 |  = -1

Absolute value cannot be negative, so there is no solution.
