---------------------------------------------------
Question
---------------------------------------------------
x - 2 = √<span>(x + 10) 

---------------------------------------------------
Square both sides
</span>---------------------------------------------------
(x - 2)² = (√(x + 10))²
(x - 2)² = (x + 10)   ← square and square root would will net off each other

---------------------------------------------------
Remove brackets
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 2² = x + 10
x² - 4x + 4 = x + 10

---------------------------------------------------
minus x + 10 on both sides
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 4 - x - 10 = 0
x² - 5x - 6 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Factorise the left side
---------------------------------------------------
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property 
---------------------------------------------------
x -6 = 0  or  x +1 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Solve x
---------------------------------------------------
x = 6 or x = -1

---------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 6 or x = -1

Someone please give me the answers...And thank you
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4x + 3 <= 3x - 5

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x + 3-3  <= 3x - 5 -3

4x  <= 3x - 8

Subtract 3x form both sides

4x - 3x <= 3x -3x - 8

x <= -8
