That would be choice 3
middle term = -3mn-8mn = -11mn and last term = + 2n^2
Both 52 and 5x-8 are equal to each other due to being parral.
SO 5x-8=52
Add both sides.
8+8 52+8= 60
5x 60
Now divide both sides by 5 and you get 12=x Hope this helps!
Answer:
2042
Step-by-step explanation:
Do you need a step by step?
Do recall that squaring and the *radical sign* cancel each other out... like so:(

)

= a
When you put it that way, it isn't enough :P
(

)

= a
(

)

=?
so you start with
(

)

=

8x+1=25 <-- subtract 1 to both sides
8x=24 <- divide 8 to both sides
x= 3
To find out if it's an extraneous solution ask yourself: It mustn't result in a radical that I like to call... 'illegal'. Plug it into the radicand 8x+1 and make sure you get something that is not a negative number.... so, DO you get a negative number when you plug in x = 3 into the radicand?
(extraneous solution is a invalid solution)
x=3 not extraneous
