The intercept are the number of each of the pots used when no soil was put in the other pot.
When no soil was put in the large pots, then 120/5 = 24 small pots will be filled.
When no soil was put in the small pots, then 120/12 = 10 large pots will be filled.
THerefore, the points labelled are (24, 0) and (0, 10)
Well since the only possible step to begin with is finding the square root of the entire equation, we are left with :
x+y-5 =√(30)
So from there we add 5 and subtract y to/from √30 and get :
x = √(30)-y+5
or
x = √(2)*√(3)*√(5)-y+5 (if the teacher or instructions preferred √(30) simplified)
Answer:
2 works
-3 is extraneous
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(x + 7) - 1 = x Add 1 to both sides
sqrt(x + 7) = x + 1 Square both sides
(x + 7) = (x + 1 )^2
x + 7 = x^2 + 2x + 1 Subtract x from both sides
0 = x^2 + x + 1 -7
0 = x^2 + x - 6 This will factor
(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 Find the values for x
x + 3 = 0
x = - 3
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Now you must check this to see if both values work
sqrt(-3 + 7) - 1 = -3
sqrt(4) - 1 = -3
2 - 1 =? - 3
1 does not equal - 3. Therefore - 3 is extraneous. Try x = 2
sqrt(2 + 7) - 1 = 2
sqrt(9) - 1 = 2
3 - 1 = 2
2 = 2
Ture I think
