Add 1 to both sides:
In cases like this, we have to remember that a root is always positive, so we can square both sides only assuming that
Under this assumption, we square both sides and we have
The solutions to this equation are
But since we can only accept solutions greater than -1, we discard 
and accept 
.
In fact, we have
and
which is the only solution.
If X is increased by 7 to make 21
X + 7 = 21
then rearrange the equation to get X
X = 21-7
X = 14(b)
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+6=30
Get the co-efficient by itself
3x +6=30
-6. -6
3x=24
Divide by 3 on both sides
24/3
x =8
Answer:
(1/2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, determine y in first equation: 2x+y=5 or y=5-2x
replace value of y determined in first equation (5-2x) into 2nd equation
4x-3(5-2x)=-10
4x-15+6x=10
10x=5
x=1/2
put value of x into either equation to solve for y so
2(1/2)+y=5
1+y=5
y=4
answer: x=1/2, y=4
check answer by substituting x and y into either equation:
4x-3y=-10
4(1/2)-3(4)=-10
2-12=-10
-10=-10
or
2x+y=5
2(1/2)+4=5
1+4=5
5=5
