I be leave it is the 3rd one.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Without brackets, we are not exactly sure what is under the root sign. There are 3 choices.
sqrt(x) + 2 - 15 = - 3
sqrt(x + 2) - 15 = - 3
sqrt(x + 2 - 15) = - 3
I think the middle one is what you intend. If not leave a note.
sqrt(x + 2) - 15 = - 3 Add 15 to both sides.
sqrt(x + 2) - 15+15 = - 3+15 Combine
sqrt(x + 2) = 12 Square both sides
x + 2 = 12^2 Do the right
x + 2 = 144 Subtract 2 from both sides.
x + 2-2 = 144-2
x = 142
When solving a system by graphing you need to see where the lines intersect.
Below is a picture of these lines graphed. The green line is y = x +4 and the blue line is y = 4x - 1
The red dot represents the intersection is about (1, 5)
The original point is: (1.667, 5.667)
Hope this helped!
Someone deleted my answer but if you need to look back its 90000
C, I’m pretty sure
Why do I have to write 20 words for this? This is why I’m rambling.
