Given the equation 2 Square root (x minus 5) = 2, solve for x and identify if it is an extraneous solution.

1 answer:

8 0

2 root (x-5)=2

Divide each side by 2 (in order to isolate the square root):
Root (x-5) =1

Square both sides to remove the radical sign:
(x-5)=1

Solve:
x=6

To be sure that it is not an extraneous solution, check the solution by replacing the value for the variable in the equation.

2 root (6-5) = 2

The square root of 1 is 1.

2(1)=2
This is correct.

If the supplement of an angle is two-third of itself ,then its supplement is

stich3 [128]

( 'x' is not 144 .)

The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .

180 - x = 2/3 x

Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)

540 - 3x = 2x

Add 3x to each side:

540 = 5x

Divide each side by 5 :

x = 108° .

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 30/5 = 6.Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 30/-3 = -10.Slope is -5/-3 = 1.66666666666667. Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1.66666666666667*x+-10.
