Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 22$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Add 4 to both sides

$\sqrt{2x + 5}-4+4=3+4$

$\sqrt{2x+5}=7$

Step 2:  Square both sides

$(\sqrt{2x+5})^2 = 7^2$

$2x+5 = 49$

Step 3:  Subtract 5 from both sides

$2x + 5 - 5 = 49 - 5$

$2x = 44$

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 2

$2x / 2 = 44 / 2$

$x = 22$

Answer:  $x = 22$
